Let's remember the real victim in Anthony trial

So by now, everyone in America should know who this woman is. (If you're a Nancy Grace fan then you probably call her Tot Mom).

But just so we're all on one page, this is Casey Anthony - the woman who is on trial right now for the death of her daughter, Caylee.

Initially, I avoided this case. I just didn't feel as if this story was something that should be plastered over national news.

But after my mother came up for a visit last month, she watched it nonstop, and it wasn't before long that I became hooked intrigued, too.

This case is filled with so many twists and turns. Lies, betrayals, alleged molestations, alleged incest, lies, mistresses with aliases, brawls outside the courthouse, and lest we forget ... lies.

I got caught up in all the hooplah. Then earlier this week I saw the most honest thing throughout this entire trial and that was the testimony of George Anthony (click here to see testimony). It was riveting, and you could see the pain etched across his face.

This was a man who has gone through hell in the last few years, from the disappearance and eventual discovery of his granddaughter, to the insanity surrounding this trial.

His testimony reminded me and probably many of you about the one true victim here that is almost overlooked - an afterthought to the drama and theatrics of this trial. That's little Caylee.

As I was writing this, I flashed through images of Caylee, a little girl I never met. The raw emotion swept through me and the brutal reality behind all these theatrics and headlines came into full fruition for me.

This little one will never get a chance to get her first kiss from a boy; she'll never get the chance to learn how to ride a bike; or go to the prom. She won't get the chance to have sleepovers, or try for her license.

As a parent who has lost a child, I can tell you that I believe I can somewhat relate to George Anthony after seeing his testimony. It hurts when you lose a child. Your mind is often filled with the question, I wonder what my child would be doing now if he/she were still alive? How would he/she look? The questions tend to run on forever, ending with a long stream of tears.

I would never say that I understand his pain completely, because I haven't walked in this man's shoes. I haven't lived the pain he and his family have lived in the last few years.

This case is about one person - little Caylee and she will be missed. You're an angel now, little Caylee - far removed from the foolishness of this trial and this world.
