Marie,

It is soo sad! They went missing the same day Smart was

found, 2 weeks ago. In the original post I said I was hoping we would

have the same ending but sad to say not so. Yes, they were brothers, 5

and 8 yrs old and so far they don't seem to have a clue of what the

heck happened. Like you said, losing one child would be bad enough, I

can't imagine.

A friend of mine, that I worked with was one of 3 brothers that died

in a mountain climbing accident this summer. He was only 21 and had 2

boys and a wife. I could not find words to express to that mother. She

lost half her children in one full swoop. This was the week after Niki

left for the army so it was really hard on me. I wanted her home soo

bad!

Anyway, sorry to be a downer. Just have to be thankful for what we

have. I can't wait to pick up Cassie today. Haven't seen her since Wed

morning! Have a good day.

Hugs,

Gena
