I saw a story on GMA this morning about Jaycee Dugard, the 11-year-old who was abducted 18 years ago. The two women who were instrumental in rescuing her were interviewed. One said to be aware of your surroundings -- pay attention. Always follow your instincts and if you are wrong, apologize later. What great advice! We do have a responsibility as a society to help keep others safe. They said their mother's instincts helped solve this case.
My heart goes out to Jaycee and her entire family. I can't imagine what she and her family have been through in the last 18 years. It amazes me that in 18 years, noone's instincts were stong enough to help save this girl sooner. Maybe we all need to have a little more Gladys Kravitz in us. (For those who are young to remember, Gladys was the nosy neighbor on "Bewitched".) Gladys never missed a thing.
