Shawn went missing in Oct 2002. Today he and another missing boy were found alive! This is the best news our small community has had ever. Miracles do happen...
Yes, the MISSOURI MIRACLE! I was at work Friday afternoon when the guy that sits directly on the other side of my cubicle wall - well, his phone rings. I could tell by the way he answered the phone that it was a personal call, not business. I heard him say very loudly
" Damn, you've got to be kidding!" followed by "Are any of you listening to this?". I hear his chair roll back as he stands, he tells the caller "let me tell the others - I'll call you back". That's how our office found out. His mom had called him to say she was at home watching a news bulletin on the local news around 4pm. After that, we try to pull up the latest on the Internet.... extremely slow because all the news sites being accessed were overburdened. The large conference room has a TV in it... the execs tuned in to the local news.... we got watch some of it there.
Miracles do happen.... Shawn and Ben are home!!
I watched the news conferences on Saturday morning too. Couldn't go anywhere anyway because of the ice storm. I cried because I was so happy for the boys and their families.
Ben home within 5 days..... Shawn home after 4 1/2 years! Wow!
