Don't you just love when you hear about a happy ending to a story? Especially a story that was once so devastating and real that it could have happened to you? A tragedy to say the least.
Does anyone remember this young girl?
I do.
I remember seeing her picture posted all over the news.
I remember seeing her parents weep on TV asking for their daughter to be returned.
I remember feeling so scared for her because we were so close in age- only a mere two months apart.
And then I remember the day that she was found.
I remember feeling so happy that she was still alive and that her parents never gave up hope.
It was also gratifying when her abductors were sentenced to prison.
But, the story gets even better.
Elizabeth Smart recently announced her engagement!
I can only imagine the trust issues Elizabeth had to work through to get to this point in her life.
I admire her bravery, strength, and courage.
Not only did she recover from a tragic event, she became an advocate to help save the lives of others.
I love that she is getting her happy ending.
