If you follow this blog about missing mothers you know some of the familiar circumstances, phrases, and words that ring through most cases.  This case, again, sounds so familiar.  Many prayers go up for the safe return of Susan Powell, and may her children be loved and cared for.

Josh Powell told the Deseret News he last saw his wife about midnight Sunday at their home. He said that was when he decided to leave the house and take his two sons, ages 2 and 4, camping “down south.”
