Mother and children from missing Kim family found

Oh thank God. Like many others, I am sure, my heart has swelled with grief and fear for the Kim family, missing for nine days.

I held them close to my prayers and had a moment of understanding about just how easy it is for a family vacation to go so horribly wrong.  Watching the news tonight, I felt that same heart swell, this time with hope and deep gratitude that Kati Kim and her young daughters were rescued today. I was tearful and felt an inexplicable connection to this mother who breastfed both children to keep them nourished. In CityMama's words, "She is my hero." 

I will keep the Kim family close in my warm thoughts as the search continues for husband and father James Kim, who left the family and veered-off car to seek help. For James, and for Kati and Sabine and Penelope healing in a hospital, and for all of those people searching and supporting the famiy and the rescue effort, I will keep a continual prayer of hope in my swollen heart.

Swollen heart. Perfect way to describe it. James will be found safe.
