My mom sent me a link to a newspaper article a couple of days ago. When I first started reading it I thought why would 4 kids missing in Costa Rica affect me. It was half way through the article I realized that the teacher missing was one of my sister's ex boyfriends (she dated him for 3 years). She still keeps in touch with him and he is a wonderful man. Geez, I hadn't cried about him missing until I started writing this post. I cry for the two that have left this work and for the two that are missing. We never think that when people are missing unless we know them, oh too bad for the families and friends. I haven't talked to Brett for a while but I hear updates about him from my sister. Please, keep these families and all of his students in your prayers.
What an awful shame. He seems like an extraordinary person. I guess it's too much to hope they find him alive. Seems god wanted him a little closer. They say it takes a minute to find a special person, an hour to appreciate them, a day to love them, but then an entire life to forget them.
