So here's the short of it, 
Tonight the little boy from Alabama is safe. 

And here's the long.

In Midland City, Alabama, a bus driver who gave his life protecting "his children", was laid to rest - a little Kindergartener has been reunited with his family - and the perpetrator of the murder/abduction has been killed.  In the days to come, perhaps we'll learn more about what drove 65 year old Jimmy Lee Dykes to this end.  Right now we know so little about what made him tick.

But for tonight, Ethan is out of danger and with his Mother and grandmother, and lots of us who have carried this little fellow in our thoughts and prayers are breathing a little easier.
