12/5/06 - 7:30am - We're up and hoping for good news, anxiously awaiting the success of the search and rescue team. I was able to speak with Kati briefly last night and she is in good spirits, worried and waiting, but joking with me in only the way that Kati can. The girls are in great shape.The Kim and Fleming's primary concern now is to reunite the family. Kati's mother, father and brother should be travelling to Oregon today to be with the family.
I spoke off camera with one of the interviewers yesterday and we talked about how easy it is sometimes to be cynical in life, but how something like this really shows the true heart of people everywhere. There were so many times these few days where emails from people out there have had us crying and tearing up because of the sheer amount of love expressed - in many cases for a family they don't even know. It has really kept us going and *IS* keeping us going.
Thank you again for all of the support and to all of the people up in Oregon finding James right now.
Thanks.
Our prayers that the searchers get lucky, soon.
