Good News

Our newspaper is usually full of reports of war, murders, and political intrigue. This morning there was a story that was different. It was good news of the kind that made me smile through tears of joy. Shawn Hornbeck is home. Shawn is a 15-year-old boy who has been missing for four long years. There are many unanswered questions, but this boy who was lost has been found. He appears well and happy. I can feel his mother’s joy as she holds this son close to her heart. I do not know Shawn or his family, but I am a mother who worries about a long lost son. I can feel the joy. Welcome home, Shawn.

Sue,
You are such a great mom! Hopefully one day your son that is lost will find his way home.
