Fragile, hope shatters
Benjy didn't make it. Amidst the many missing persons stories on tonight's news came this update: Seven-year-old Benjy Heil's body was found in a creek less than a mile from his home.
So many searchers, so many caring people -- and such a sad ending to this story.
My heart goes out to his parents, his siblings, his extended family, his friends.
Stumble It!

That is so sad. My heart breaks for his family.
As a parent of a 7 year old boy who doesn't wander nearly as much as he used to (but occasionally still does) I so wanted this one to come out right.
My hopes were spurred when the authorities all but ruled out his going to the river. I was glad that it was warm out, so that hypothermia wasn't as much of an issue. And I prayed that the hundreds of searchers would come upon him and reunite him with his family.
What a sad, terrible ending.

How terribly sad.
I've not read the paper or turned on the telly in a few days, so I didn't know about this. Just SO tragic.
That's just awful. That was someones baby.
