Unhappy My Son May Have Been Found

Hi everyone

I haven't been here a while. My job has kept me very busy and a lot has been going on.

I received a call from the police last week that a white male had been found in the Delaware River and that they want to check to see if it is my son. So I have been in contact with the medical examiner and they are going to check his finger print which I provided from an Ident A Kid card I had and his dental records. My son was never arrested so they didn't have any fingerprints on file and he didn't have any id on him.

There are some similarities between this body and my son. The ME told me that he has nice teeth and no tatoos as well as the fact that he had no record. The same as my son. The guys that he was running with have been locked up and we have not heard a thing. He never tried to get in touch with his kids either.

I am just waiting now to see what they come up with and unfortunately I am not feeling too positive about it.

Stephens mom,

The good news is that you will soon have an answer. Unfortunately, that's also the bad news.

We are right there with you, holding your hand thru the scary parts. Be extra gentle with yourself right now....

Love and hugs
Cats

Dear God:

Please look on stephensmom today and surround her with Your love. She is in limbo right now, and that is such a hard place to be. There is an answer to this, but we do not know what it is right now. Dear God, please prepare her for that answer and put people around her to help her today. Thank you for hearing this prayer, Dear God. We know you are the God of compassion and mercy and that you long to comfort stephensmom through this time, and we thank you for doing that.

I'm so sorry you have to go thru this. No mother should have to
go thru this.

I will light a candle in hope and prayer for you and Stephen.

Thank you all. This site is full of wonderful people. It is tough being in limbo. If this is my son the one thing is that I am grateful for is that I will not be left in limbo forever like so many people who have loved ones who have been missing for years.

The fear of the unknown is always what gets me the most. Praying that you can trust your HP at this point and feel His presence. That is the only way I've managed to keep some peace in my life.

Just praying extra hard for you right now.

Hugs and love,

I have no words, just my heartfelt prayers. As someone before me said, no parent should ever have to go through this.

Hugs
