It hit hard. I'm in another zone. I was so distraught, then I was in a zone. I'm just trying to function.

I'm finally relaxing. I'm still staying by the phone though. That phone is with me.

We just figure they're out in the field, I guess.

I'm not there to fix him, give him chicken soup or put a band-aid on.

I'm not leaving my phones. I just want to hear from my child. I want to know that all those kids are safe.

I don't think it was handled well at all. They didn't keep me informed.
