Somer’s Day

Filed under: Uncategorized — heather @ 9:44 pm

A couple of months ago there was a terrible tragedy near where we live where a little girl named Somer Thompson was walking home from school and was later found dead.  There hasn’t been much information released as to what exactly happened during that time or who could have done such a terrible thing but it has really rattled the community and caused parents to hold their children a little tighter.

Today, Hera and I headed to an event to raise money for Somer’s family.  There were lots of bikers and bands but not much else.  I had read that there would be craft vendors and food but all I found were bouncy houses and hot dogs.  I was however happy to see that I could get a child ID kit started for Hera, even at two months of age!  She got finger printed and photographed and I was sent home with a CD of images, tiny fingerprints and a card with her information.  There was also a video/photographer from the Jacksonville Times Union who shot the above footage.  You can see Hera at 00:51 as she poses for her ID photo.
