If she's not escaped, my cousin, her brother and my cousin's 4 beautiful children would not be around. I can't imagine that. It is too awful.

And we'd keep them up at the front doors until we reunited them with their parents, or whoever had brought them. Some of those little guys were so brave, even though you could tell they were a nervous wreck inside. And there was never any doubt who they were with. The reunions were very heartfelt, even though their separation must have only lasted 20 minutes. But it's the scariest 20 minutes of their lives.Julia Phillips Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15392455413201190775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-38816776956506543722008-03-13T17:26:00.000+00:002008-03-13T17:26:00.000+00:00It was awful at the time Bee :(My parents thanked ...It was awful at the time <B>Bee</B> :(<BR/><BR/>My parents thanked the angels once they'd found me <B>Ron</B>! :)<BR/><BR/>Yes thankfully it all ended well <B>RN</B>, I just wish it could be the same for all missing children. :(Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-31705184970619001492008-03-13T16:28:00.000+00:002008-03-13T16:28:00.000+00:00it must be a hormone day for me...I was reading th...it must be a hormone day for me...I was reading this and almost started to cry...I can imagine the panic in your parents....you confusion and saddness for why they hadn't arrived to get you...the utter relief you poor father and uncle must have felt when they finally found you....my heart was beating fast for all of you.....so glad all worked out in the end...Smalltown RNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08806734351278128551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-69626892295444979302008-03-13T02:05:00.000+00:002008-03-13T02:05:00.000+00:00OMG...I can't believe the school did not call your...OMG...I can't believe the school did not call your parents!?!?!?!<BR/><BR/>In today's world a parent would probably apply some sort of legal action!<BR/><BR/>What a horrendous scare for YOU and your PARENTS, Akelamalu.<BR/><BR/>Whewww...so glad the "angels" helped out on this!Ronhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15977027331657615697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-91486800257771025682008-03-12T21:56:00.000+00:002008-03-12T21:56:00.000+00:00oh my GOSH! your poor parents and poor you too!!! ...oh my GOSH! your poor parents and poor you too!!! how awful!<BR/><BR/>hugs, bee<BR/>xoxoxoxooxoxoxoEmpress Bee (of the high sea)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08300140506585000934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1922338030834754301.post-43315298255458185812008-03-12T21:47:00.001+00:002008-03-12T21:47:00.001+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Akelamaluhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11234268568845148285noreply@blogger.com
