""Can you tell me if they'll ever find her?" Mom asks. "Is she out there?"Then Sylvia says: "I hate this when they're in water. I just hate this. She's not alive, honey."What? Why did she say that?Mom's face just drops. I start crying and shouting at the TV. I'm not dead! I'm alive and I'm right here!... She is a fraud. Now my poor mother is going to be convinced I'm dead, because she trusts Sylvia. This is going to crush her. She has to ignore what she was told and keep believing I'm alive and fighting to bring me home. If she doesn't, how can I keep hoping?"
