** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only ** To my beloved husband, and very best friend Eric Wharton  You are my greatest treasure and I love you.  I am happily married and my life has been abundantly blessed with a wonderful loving family. My blog is about the tapestry of two lives that God has permanently woven together by His love and our journey through our many trials, triumphs, and the God-size miracles we have witnessed throughout our daily lives with our strong faith in Christ.

| People who disappear without a trace intrigue me. Recently I watched a Julia Roberts movie called “Sleeping with the Enemy” about an abused wife who faked her own death, and vanished, and I began thinking about this concept and how I would do it, if I were such a desperate situation that required this. Apparently many others have seemingly evaporated into thin air and started their lives over somewhere anonymously all around the globe from what I’ve seen on the America’s Most Wanted television show. I wonder what their reasons were for doing this. Could it be running from an abusive partner, kidnapping their children for safe keeping, trying to escape from debts or other financial obligations such as alimony or child support, or simply just from being a criminal? If I ever had to vanish, I wonder where would I go, would I retreat to a very small rural area, or would I submerge myself with in the shadows of a larger city. Knowing me, I would probably slip up the first week on the run, and reveal myself, as I am not good at lying. The expressions of my face would be a dead giveaway as they are the tell-tell sign of my thoughts from happy to sad. I can’t mask my emotions. I cannot wear a poker face, it’s not in me, and I don’t do well with disguises. It would be beyond my comprehension to be forced to leave my husband, loved ones, and friends, etc and to never have contact with them ever again. What would I do about my past medical and dental records, family photographs, and all important documentations? Knowing I would have to forfeit all of the money I have paid into social security would hurt, but if I were going to be on the run, I suppose it would help if I had a great deal of money to fall back on. Okay that leaves me out already. Since I am naïve to doing things like this, I would hire someone to create a new social security number and identity for me. Perhaps I would need to learn a new secondary language if necessary. Running away wouldn’t be the hardest part for me, staying away would be. Plus fearing of trusting anyone to help me would be a problem. For those who have gone underground for legitimate reasons, I imagine it was a very difficult decision to make to do this, and probably took an extraordinary amount of time to decide to give up their lives. I would be more like Julia Roberts character, I am sure I would mess up and get myself caught. Seriously I could never do it. Could you? |
