The longer he is gone the longer the days seem to be. We all sit and search the internet for clues, words, signs...anything that we can get or grasp! Here is a copy of one of the many news articles that have went out about him...</em></strong></span><a href="http://www.yourobserver.com/news/east-county/News/0813201221198/Bradenton-man-missing"><span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS", sans-serif;"><strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: red;">Missing Endangered Adult - Chris Babauta</span></em></strong></span></a><br />

It's taking a toll on all of us. We cry, we think, we pause, we don't sleep, we have anxiety. We can only pray, pray that he comes home us, his family SAFE! There is little real concentration, little conversations that don't involve him, Chris being gone. We are now the "family" that people feel sorry for, pray for and try to comfort. There is little comfort that he is gone and we have no answers, no leads, we are left with only questions. Chris, I pray that you will come home to us soon.

</div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.</em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.</em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>He was always there for her. She told her boyfriend,</em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>'If I could only see the world, I will marry you.'</em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her. When the bandages </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>came off, she was able to see everything, including her </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>boyfriend. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>He asked her, 'Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?' The </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind. The </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn't expected </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>that. The thought of looking at them the rest of her life </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>led her to refuse to marry him. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>saying: 'Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>they were yours, they were mine.' </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>This is how the human brain often works when our status changes. </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Only a very few remember what life was like before, and who </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>was always by their side in the most painful situations. </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Today before you say an unkind word - Think of someone who can't </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>speak. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Before you complain about the taste of your food - Think of someone </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>who has nothing to eat.. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Before you complain about your husband or wife - Think of someone </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>who's crying out for a companion. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Before you complain about life - Think of someone who went </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>too early to heaven.. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>Before whining about the distance you drive Think of someone who </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>walks the same distance with their feet. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>And when you are tired and complain about your job - Think of the </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>job.. </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div></strong><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down - Put a smile on </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>your face and think: you're alive and still </em></strong></div><div style="text-align: center;"><strong><em>around... </em></strong></div><strong><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

I wanted to post more on my blog, wanted to do more in my house, the list just goes on and on...But I can only do so much! This year has been a lots of trails and tribulations...laughter and tears! Not having a job, trying to over come health issues and work on financial issues has been a bit mind boggling...to say the least. But 2010 is almost over! I am looking forward to the next year! </em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em>I am going to do more, make more time for the small things, not worry so much about the things I can not control (oh I wish this where true...I've always been a big worrier)! But with the New Year will bring a new adventure for me...I can not wait! </em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em></em></strong><br />
<strong><em>With that, I have decided to share a few long overdue pictures of my Christmas tree and a few little decorations in my living room! I hope you enjoy...</em></strong><br />

<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I just have to say that getting older was not at all what I thought it was going to be!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">With the remarkable age of technology, I have come to find friends from my youth, friends from school, girl scouts and more…What a true joy it has been to get back in touch with them!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">With that I must say that…I love that the women in my life right now...</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">For today, they are in my life because I love and adore them!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I don't have time for anything else!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: magenta;"><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white;"></span></em></span></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I have met some truly amazing women over the years…some of them are here in town with me, some are in other cities and states…some are in another country…</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Some I talk to only a few times a year and we both know how much we mean to each other.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Some I just have to think of them and smile.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Some have made my life so full of joy and laughter!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Some have brought tears.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I am THANKFUL that we all have different gifts, talents and strengths.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I love that I spend an hour talking to them or only 5 minutes…they are true friends, they are genuine and real.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Some friendships have lasted years some only months.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">I have had amazing friendships and others that were not.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">The one thing I know is that every friend that I have been blessed to know has made me a better person in some way.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">Maybe not fun at the time...but I have always come out on the other side a wiser person.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">So...to Shawn…we became “sisters” at an early age, from early morning paper routes to Christmas and boys we shared so much, I was sad when you left and rejoiced when we found each other again!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Jen, Margie, Kelli and Chris...the 80s were great for hair...we may be the reason that the ozone has holes however!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Pam...Thank you for being my friend in a new school, the transition that could have been so uncomfortable was so amazing.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Kim...thank you for all the times we stayed late at your store, joked about Dave and shared stories of our families and friends…I wished those days were still here, I miss them (and you) the most!</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Renee...thank you for knowing the beginning and middle....I hope you will still know the ending. </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Sherry...thank you for all the BAD things we have done together. Those have been some of the most fun times of my life! I know that you would never judge me. I love you for that.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Dorothy...thank you for all the walks and times shared with our “little girls”. Family time, game time…it really doesn’t matter…My time with you will ALWAYS be one of the most precious in my life.</span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">To Dyanne...thank you for all of the time spent together, with our families from dinners to traveling and more! The pleasure has been mine… </span></em></strong><br />
<strong><br />
<em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;"></span></em></strong><br />
<strong><em><span style="background-color: white; color: magenta;">So, to all the amazing women I have met...you are the most incredible, encouraging and strong women I have ever met! This is just a small list of those women, there are so many more that have touched me in different areas of my life, without each and everyone of them, I would NOT be who I am today!</span></em></strong><br />
<br />
<strong><em><span style="color: magenta;">I received this via email from a friend and asked her if I could use it, but of course make changes to make sure it "fit" my friends and life...she said yes...but she received it from someone else so with that...I do not know the original author but what a GREAT thing to honor our FRIENDS (and a special Thank You for coming up with it)!</span></em></strong><br />
