Jenna’s possible involvement also came under investigation, although I learned the importance of distinguishing what I suspected from what could actually be proven.
There were court hearings.
Meetings with lawyers.
Reviews of evidence.
And months of uncertainty about what would happen next.
No powerful speech inside a courtroom could reverse the damage already done.
No criminal sentence could return the seventy-two hours Lily had spent completely alone.
And even if every stolen dollar were eventually recovered, no amount of money could remove the memory of my little girl sitting on our hardwood floor, holding an empty cereal bowl against her chest.
But gradually, life began to change for us.
Lily started attending therapy with a counselor who specialized in helping children recover from traumatic experiences.
Eventually, she stopped hiding crackers underneath her pillow.
She no longer asked whether she was allowed to drink water.
And, little by little, she stopped waking during the night just to check that I was still there.
