Which mother's grieving is more? Hearts unite in Love and Prayer Thousands, Millions petition the Lord How often one's faith is extended and strengthened On the road of our early estate We pray for the lost soul to return to the fold. Life's journey has not yet ended.—ED SMART, 2002BRINGING ELIZABETH HOME would seem like a logical place to end our journey. In truth, we would have loved nothing more than to have our daughter back and move on with our lives. But that isn't the reality of the situation we faced after Elizabeth came home. We know what it's like to lose a child—to have a stranger snatch her right out from under our watchful eyes. There can be no real end to our story until there is an end to the plight of missing children. We are one of the few fortunate families who got their missing child back. How can we expect to have no involvement in crusading for the well-being of all missing children? The Rachael Alert had just been put into place in Utah in April 2002, three months before Elizabeth was taken.
