But this is not just about the kids but about those who are going to such great lengths to get them home safe.
It has everything a great story needs, make 'em weep, make 'em laugh, make 'em wait.
And it has the virtue of being a true story with a happy (or at least semi-happy) ending.
How many other "kids in peril" stories can you say that about?
I can’t argue with that. I just don’t get into this stuff really, Even the Baby Jessica story was sort of a back burner thing that I didn’t pay attention to. The one thing I remember from that story is something we can all learn from:
The 15 minutes of fame for the fireman who’s photo holding her became viral ended up being fata. He killed himself.
That is the single aspect of the story I remember.
