Aiden Mullin is back home

For about 12 hours yesterday, a little boy was taken away from his family. For the last half of that half a day, the parents and grandparents were despondent and helpless...

Aiden was taken from a local daycare by a stranger yesterday just before lunchtime, and when his momma showed up after work to pick him up, she was told that a family member had picked him up at 11:30 am.

I cannot even begin to imagine the depth of despair his momma felt as that news began to sink in. Within minutes a search was mounted and prayers began... and in a couple hours a Morgan Nick abducted child alert was posted. As I went to bed last night, I had the horrible thought that the person who took this 16 month old baby could have put a lot of distance between him and Mountain Home in the 12 hours since they had picked him up. My mind made the terrible leap forward... and I was imagining my friends a decade from now still mourning like the Nick family must be...

Then, as we turned off the lights to go to sleep, my wife got a phone call from a friend who works with the momma saying they had gotten Aiden back!!!

Our family had been talking and praying and waiting for any news all evening... so I went in and woke up the girls to tell them that Aiden was safe with his momma and daddy... they were very happy. As I was turning to leave Cassie's bed (after a really long hug), she said, "Daddy, I prayed."

I couldn't find my voice to reply, so we hugged some more...

Praise God for Aiden's safe return. I know I speak for Heather and Jaime and Tim and Terri when I say THANK YOU for all your prayers for Aiden's safe return...

He is with his momma and daddy... where he belongs.
