Today, I am relieved, ecstatic, joyful, delighted, and kvelling to learn that all 12 boys and their soccer coach are rescued, safe and sound. The collective global sigh of relief is holding me up and getting me through the rough parts of our world. There really are heroes in the world. We need to celebrate them!
Hold your kinderlach (children) closer today, and every day.

Yes.,It is such a relief that boys are back, though sadly one diver lost life 😦 Your kids look lovely playing there in green 🙂 It is always a delight to watch them and I always wonder about my son “How did he grow up so fast?”

It is a truly remarkable achievement by the collective rescue teams. I heard today that all the boys were actually heavily sedated during their journeys. It makes sense.

I was waiting anxiously, it’s totally amazing that all of the children were rescued, what heroes their rescuers are. So sad that one man didn’t make it, he knew the risks and still did his part.

I love how the world focused it’s attention on the Thai rescue – reminded me of the Chilean miners from a few years back. It’s good to celebrate the goodness in the world.

That is so true, Veronica. That brave diver was the first in to try and he died a hero. After that, the feeling was bleak. I was so thrilled that the rest made it out despite the odds. xoxoxo #kcacols

Oh I followed this story so closely and was soooo relieved when the news finally came through that they were all safe. What an awful ordeal to have to go through, and I just kept thinking how much worse it would be if 1 or more of them didn’t make it. So I was THRILLED to hear that they were ALL out. And yes you’re right – it reminds us to hug our little ones just a little tighter and never take them for granted #blogcrush
