Oh Please, not another one

I am literally missing a family reunion today because it's on the water. I couldn't do it. I hate the water anyway and after August... I got a tension headache even thinking about going. I just stayed home.

Just too many every year. It's awful.

Missing since Friday night. Sunday (almost noon here). I don't like the time factor for this precious little one. Praying for a miracle.

I’d like to know more specific details about how he disappeared. There isn’t much being said. I’m guessing that’s deliberate.

Search and rescue workers spent the day trying to find the boy, referred to as Myles online, who disappeared Friday evening when he was with family near the Wapiti River at the Canfor Bridge.

Looking at the pictures of where the search is taking place---hard to understand how one loses track of a 2 yr old around such a dangerous area for a toddler.

Were they camping and he got away during nap time?

katy, the pix of river look scary. This little guy would be the loser in that river, I hope he didn't get into the water.

This is too sad to contemplate, just say a prayer for this child. I hope he is found soon.
