I hadn't seen this posted yet, and well I wanted to share it.
I'll let the article speak for itself.

Dangit, OI, don't put these type messages up during the day.

Next time I hear somebody gripe about "kids today", I'm handing them a copy of this article.

I'm in complete agreement with you.

I've been looking at their website. Prayers have been sent.

Darn it. This is the secoond time today I've broken into tears. This morning, I read every word of an entire website linked by Bix's sister to the story of a wonderful 5-year-old.

I gotta go get some waterproof mascara.

What terrific kids. What a joy for Eli's family. We had a similar instance in a neighboring town, albeit with a happier ending:
