Thank you, God, for guiding searchers to find this boy.

I have been running around town all morning but I heard this on the cBS Radio news at 11 PDT. Said he was alive but the rescue chopper could not find a place to land. Prayers do work Glock.

I haven't read the rest of the thread yet...

Thank Heaven!

Oh yes, what a thrill that was to hear that young fella is safe and back in the arms of his family. Their joy must be immense. I said boy, it would kind of make you never want to let him out of your sight again. What a fright. Thank you God and thank you Brad's Gramma for ALL you do for so many!!! Thanks for the update though and God bless you.

We only hear about the evil perverts. Tha'ts the sad part.

The Hawkins' yard is covered with yellow balloons, ribbons, posters, and there are neighbors huddling around.

A KUTV (Salt Lake ch 2) reporter interviewed a young lady in the yard who spontaneously said the following (through her tears):

You know, you can have faith whether he was found alive, or otherwise, and we would still believe; have faith; have hope; but, we're just so grateful it had the outcome it did, and we will always stand by Brennan and his family and support them.

Reporter: And this is what you were praying for...

Exactly... completely overwhelmed, and so grateful of all the people that helped, and the media who was able to keep it in people's minds, and help people to realize how much we needed their help, and how much we really appreciate everybody that came. Because everybody, even if you didn't find Brennan, you made it so somebody else could search in the area he was found, and it was just by process of elimination that we were able to find him, to go to the exact spot that he was. Because somebody else came up and searched, and somebody else came and gave water to somebody that was hiking, and somebody else watched somebody's kids so they could go hiking. Everybody that pulled together, they're the ones who found Brennan. Everybody found him.

United we stand...divided we fall. This is the true spirit of American and her people. God bless all of those who helped in the search. People, dogs, everyone! Thank God for happy endings.

[Brad’s Gramma]

Thank you...beyond words...thank you.

[Brad’s Gramma]

I went to the website yesterday...and they said cells don't work out there.

[glock rocks]

I know... here's the lady who was interviewed above... as you say, beyond words.
