JAYCEE LEE DUGARD: PHOTOGRAPHS THAT INSPIRE

The 1st Public photographs of Jaycee Lee Dugard are shown by People Magazine. Jaycee said, “I’m so happy to be back with my family”, she told the magazine. "Nothing is more important than the unconditional love and support I have from them.” Seeing the joy in her face brings tears to my eyes when I think of what she has suffered. Then I feel inspired by how enduring the human spirit can be. That she can look so fantastic is truly wonderful. She looked radiantly happy, healthy, with a terrific broad smile and gorgeous long brown hair over her shoulders.

Jaycee Lee Dugard was kidnapped in 1991 when she was just 11 years old. Dugard was abducted as she walked to the school bus stop within sight of her house in South Lake Tahoe, California. Dugard’s stepfather, Carl Probyn, a few hundred yards away in the entrance to his house garage, watched helplessly as she was dragged into a gray sedan by a woman. Carl’s frenzied efforts to catch up with the gray sedan on his bike were futile.

Angel, 15, and Starlit, 11, are Jaycee's daughters, apparently fathered by Phillip Garrido, 58; a registered sex offender who police say raped her repeatedly over the years. Phillip Garrido’s home was on the outskirts Antioch, CA. It was in the backyard and backgarden that Jaycee and her children were housed. Angel and Starlit had never been to school or seen a Doctor.

It may come as a shock to many to learn that Phillip and Nancy Garrido actually lived with his ailing elderly mother in a house belonging to her. Why hasn’t more been said about his mother and her involvement in Jaycee’s incarceration? It’s as if ailing and elderly automatically absolves her of any possible wrong doing. Was she ailing and elderly 18 years ago when Jaycee was first imprisoned in her backyard? Has she been ailing and elderly every day of those 18 years? Was she ailing and elderly 15 years ago when Phillip Garrido spent 5 months in prison and Nancy fed Jaycee alone? Was she ailing and elderly while Jaycee gave birth without any medical aid to two babies.

A perimeter solid high wooden fence, overhanging trees and thick shrubbery hid the rear yard and garden from neighbors. Behind this fence lay hidden a mess of tents and sheds.This is where Jaycee and her two daughters, Angel and Starlit spent their days and nights. Living out their years in these revolting tents and nasty timbershacks.

At this moment Phillip and Nancy Garrido face a combined total of 29 felony charges, including forcible abduction, rape and false imprisonment in connection with the kidnapping of Jaycee Lee Dugard in 1991. Garrido remains in custody at the El Dorado County Jail in Placerville, California, as he and his wife Nancy Garrido await trial.

Jaycee and her two daughters are now living in seclusion with her mom, Terry Probyn, 50, and family. A family spokeswoman said Jaycee was riding horses, cooking meals and thinking of collaborating on a book.

We can’t let these wonderful photos to in any way reduce the nightmare that Jaycee and her family have endured over the last 18 years or in any way belittle the very difficult road to recovery that Jaycee will have to go through.

They do however give us all hope. The sort of hope that comes from seeing another human being putting on a heartwarming smile even after suffering 18 years of hell.
It is truly inspiring.

Lets all wish her well on her road to recovery.
