Safe returns

I guess it’s the hormones - or perhaps it’s because our girls are the same age, and we move in similar worlds, but I couldn’t even tell Big-P about the Kim family without blubbing. I have been following their story for days now and it is so good to hear that Kati and the little girls are safe and well. I am now waiting, waiting to hear the news that James is safe too. I am sending all my best wishes out into the universe for this.

I keep checking the news for James’ return, too — it’s just so frightening. I can’t imagine how distraught she must be.

What heroes, they’ve been though — keeping themselves and their babies alive in the woods for so many days. I really hope this has a happy ending.

I am watching Nancy Grace right now and they found a pair of trousers that they believe are his, they think he is leaving clues as to where he is. My constant prayers are with the Kim family.

I can’t stop thinking about it either and keep checking their site to see if there is any news. I’m not a religious person, but I’m praying he has shelter and water and is alive!

I’ve been checking the internet every hour or so, praying that they’ll have found James. He has truly been a hero to his family.

I’m with you. I’ve been googling nonstop and always pulling up the family website and the police updates. I cry a little bit now and then especially before when none of them had shown up. I keep sending thoughts to James telling he he can do it and we’re coming to him and I’m just WILLING him to be found. Soon.

I only started following the story yesterday when you posted about it - my heart is breaking for their family. James was a hero, trying to save his family.

Oh gosh, isn’t this just terrible?

That poor man.

I can’t imagine what his wife is going through.

It’s tragic.

I had a good cry this morning when they found James body.

-
Down, down, down into the darkness of the grave
Gently they go,
the beautiful, the tender, the kind;
Quietly they go, the intelligent, the witty, the brave.
I know. But I do not approve.

I just found out and feel like I’ve been socked in the stomach. So sad and I feel angry too. I know everyone tried to do as much as they could and it’s just overwhelming.

I still can’t understand how he died? I guess I need to know how for closure…my heart and prayers go out to the family.
