Esperanza

LOVE this story more than I could ever say.

Yours truly sat on the couch last night sobbing, while watching the rescue take place. Especially when the second to last miner was pulled up and reunited with his wife, who had given birth to their daughter while he was underground.

It isn't possible for me to be more impressed with the president of Chile, Sebastian Pinera. That man is something incredible.

Sitting with Jacob, while those men placed their hats over their hearts and sang the Chilean national anthem, made me emotional all over again. Chile grabbed a piece of Jacob's heart when he served his two-year church mission there. He loves that place and those people something fierce.

I am getting teary again typing this. Good grief, I'm a mess.

I couldn't go to bed last night until the last rescue worker was above ground. Couldn't do it. I had to see everyone safe, and the hole closed, before I could sleep.

I'm so tired, I can't see straight.

And it was worth every single second.
