My neighbor from

Chatterbox: Down to Earth

My neighbor from

My neighbor from across the street went missing today. It's 7:35 where I am, and he hasn't come home from school. The neighbors just stopped by to ask us if we saw anything unusual in the neighborhood. I'm such a fool, I should have looked out my window, really looked out, today while coming home in the car, not just daydreamed.  

I'm still in shock.

He's only ten, and he, my little sister, his big brother, and I are good friends. I'm so worried. Praying he hasn't been kidnapped, and that he'll get home safely soon. Please, help me and pray, pray that he'll be found soon. I'm so scared for him. I'm scared for us too. I don't want to lose a friend. He can't be lost. He just can't.

Oh, LORD, help him. It's so cold out there. Bring him home. 

 

Oh, how awful. I'm so sorry. I pray he's home by the time I'm posting this comment. Please let us know, keep us informed on the search.

Oh my... that's... that's terrible. I am so sorry, and I will be praying that he returns home safely. He'll be safe, I know he will be. Your friend will show up, he'll be safe. I would be terrified, but he'll be in good hands. Oh, I pray he'll be okay... We'll be with you, I promise.

He's safe! He showed up at about 8:00 last night. I think posting it on here just helped. Thank you, Ashlee.

Hurray! I'm glad he's back and safe. Did he run away? What happened?

Brooklyn— wow. I'm so sorry. That must be really scary for you. It's hard to not be able to help, but the best thing you can do is keep an eye out and hold him and his family in your prayers. I hope he comes home. <3

Oh my goodness. That's terrible. I'm praying for him. But Brooklyn, this isn't your fault. Don't blame yourself. *hugs* You are in no way a fool for not looking out the window. This isn't your fault. I really, really hope he's found soon. Perhaps he already has. I hope so. Stay strong, Brooklyn. Keep praying.

Oh my gosh... that's so scary! I'm glad he turned up alright. Do you know where he was or what he was doing?

Oh my goodness, when I looked on here and saw that it had 10 comments, I did a double take.

Thank you guys for being so caring! You all are shining gems of the CB, and I'm so lucky to be able to get support from you all. Y'all are the best!

Oh thank goodness he was okay! I couldn't sleep well last night, knowing he was missing. I am so glad he's safe, I cannot imagine how worried his family and yours were.

Wow, that's scary! I've had something like that happen...its a long story.....so I won't explain. 

I'm glad he's safe, and alright! (I don't pray, so for those few seconds that my heart stopped before I looked at the 'he's okay' comment, I was hoping he was fine!) If you don't mind me asking...what happened? Is he alright?

I'm glad he's back, we're here if something like this happens again, Brook! <3
