I'll bet he grew up quickly!

Glad for a happy ending to his, no doubt, terrifying journey! Maybe he will write a book!

especially the children. I thought about the young girl who was shot up while shielding her brother. What courage and selflessness she had! We have seen enough of this in the adults to see where the children learned it. They are very special people indeed.
