Have you been following the story about CNET's James Kim and his family missing in Oregon? My heart broke this afternoon when I read this news. While it is fortunate that the mother and children are okay, I can't imagine what they must be going through at this moment. Two daughters, ages 7 months and four years old, will not see their father again. It breaks my heart.

After reading what I read, I believe she had - they burned their tires for warmth and she nursed both those kids so they had food. Strong woman, that one. My heart goes out to that family...
