An absolutely incredible story popped up onto the New York Times while I was skimming headlines. The story is about two unrelated Missouri boys who were found after having been abducted 4 and a half years ago. Safe and sound, but silent at the news conference, one of the boys sat with his parents apparently looking very happy to be home.
There are so many questions that pop into mind that it would take a month to ask them all, and then more time to follow up the answers. I can only assume that there'll be a book to come out of this and then a movie, but the most important thing is that two families have their sons back.
I can only imagine the despair those parents must have lived through for all those years. Were they hopeless at times? They apparently created a foundation that works to help other families in similar circumstances. It's amazing how a random action can completely alter one's life plan. What will this do for those people? Will they redouble their efforts to help other families? Will they devote their their time now to their reunited family? It's for them to determine, and there will be no wrong answer. Good luck to both families and to all those who have suffered through years of unanswered questions.
