The day the call came was like any other day. Declan and Maggie O'Neil woke up around 6:00 a.m every morning and prepared for another day of mourning. It has been two years since their three year old precious baby boy was taken from daycare by one of the workers. The police has had no luck in finding the woman and their child. He would be five now. Maggie could hardly bare thinking about what her baby is going through. Is he eating properly? Does he still love bananas? Does he ever think about them? She tried to keep those questions from overtaking her mind; she'd go insane otherwise.

  Declan O'Neil had it the toughest in a way. Both parents mourned, but he and his son had a indisputable bond. His son wanted to be everywhere his dad was, and Declan didn't mind it one bit. He loved spending time with his little tyke and cherishes each memory. It breaks his heart to think about the missing two years of memories a monster has taken from him. He tries to stay strong for his wife, but each year as it comes closer to his son's birthday, the harder it is to keep from breaking down.
