Wednesday, March 3, 2010: Hi Sam. Today is a very sad day in San Diego. I carry a heavy heart because I have not been in your day-to-day life for sometime. I debated whether or not to post today given what has been going on in San Diego the last few days. A tragedy occurred to a little girl names Chelsea King. Chelsea was a 17-year old high school student who went missing last Thursday when she never returned home after going for a jog in a park near her home. Today, it was official that Chelsea will not be coming home. A very bad man took this little girl’s life for no apparent reason. It is extremely sad when a life ends so young for whatever reason.
Because of what Adriana Coronel Tenorio (AKA Adriana Howitt Coronel, Ari Coronel, Ari Coronel Tenorio, Ari Howitt, Ari Howitt Coronel) did to you I am super sensitive to crimes against kids even more so than I was before you were born. San Diego is just not the place where one thinks things like this happen. I wish I could give you a huge hug right now. I need to see your smile and hear your laugh. I have not slept well since November 9, 2008. I will not sleep well until this is over. The man who did this is the type of person Adriana is having this party with this weekend. This is very disturbing because who knows what people like this will do in the environment Adriana has decided to make a living in. If she makes any of these people angry, who knows what they will do.
When I think about Chelsea, I know the feeling her parents had when they remember when they had last seen her, talked to her or even hugged her for the last time. That is the absolutely the worst feeling in the world. I remember the morning of November 10, 2008 like it was yesterday. I will never forget it. I feel like I am experiencing this all over again for the first time when I see the news reports on Chelsea’s case even though the situations could not be any more different. The common denominator is that both families’ daughters were missing. We did not know where you were for 2-months. UGH.
Hang in there Sweetheart! Dad is coming! I LOVE YOU WITH ALL MY HEART SAM! KISSES!
