lost for words

Today, I read on one of the communities to which I belong - that the 4 year-old son of one of our members has been missing since Sunday morning.
 
As I sit here in stunned silence, the tears are streaming from my eyes and I can't for one minute imagine what Stacey and Robert must be feeling, even though I am a parent myself.  Several times this evening, I have looked down upon my own son sleeping safely and thanked God that I have never felt what Stacey and Robert must be feeling.
 
My heart is aching for this family and my prayers and that of my community here in Aus will be for this family until some news is received.
 
I hope that whatever you believe, whichever God or entity you worship, you can spare some prayers, thoughts, white light for Stacey and Robert and for little David.  Stacey and Robert my prayers for courage and strength are with you.  I pray David will be returned to you safely soon.
