You can see it on their faces. The fear, determination and lack of sleep. A waitress at the Waffle House pointed in their direction. They were distributing posters and looking for anyone who might have seen Caelie. They paused for coffee and told me their story.
Caelie McGuire is 14 years old (her birthday is today) and has been missing since October 4th from Louisville, Kentucky. She left home with a troubled friend but they have good reason to believe that she might be in the Nashville area. Her father, Craig T. McGuire is joined in his search with his life long friend, Eric Price. They are using every resource, every agency to help find Caelie. But they could not sit at home. They could not wait.
They tell their story so much better than I can,

It seems small to even make observations about this moment. My gratitude that they would let me in, allow me to sit with them, is exceeded only by my profound hope for Caelie’s safe return.
If you have any information about Caelie McGuire, please call 502 795-8224
I sure hope Caelie’s Dad succeds tomorrow in finding Caelie!!!!!!

Sally and I send our Love
Hey Julie, That is so sad and scary. Amazing that Caelis’s Dad was able to share his story with you. Actually, I am not surprised…. you are so good at connecting with people on a very personal level. I am awed by what you are doing. My love to you, Sally
You do find the most interesting people and they share their troubles and hopes with you because you such a wonderful person.I am sure caelis will show up and hers dad love and determination will be rewarded.be safe and remember how blessed you are.
Before I took my hand off the mouse, I said a little prayer for Craig, Eric, and of course, Caelie.
When I read that Craig was joined in his search by his life long friend, i needed you to know how blessed I feel to have had you join me in every major “search” in my life…!
I will hug Amy a little longer next time she comes home. I can’t imagine the fear and madness of having your child missing…
I will add Caelie’s safe return to my prayers.
Beautiful girl. Beautiful Dad! Beautiful Friend!! I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers!! Do let us know if you hear anything. In the meantime – keep up the good work and know that we are all rooting for you!!
