Light up, light up as if you had a choice - Even if you cannot hear my voice, I'll be right beside you dear

Last Thursday June 10th, 2021 was the first time since September 23, 2019 that the Walsh family let Evie 'see' her Dad. Over the past several weeks, debates raged in the courts as to whether Evie could even handle seeing him. He was a "stranger."
