The grandmother of Georgia toddler Quinton Simon, who has been missing for nearly a week, thanked her supporters in a Facebook post on Tuesday, when she wrote that "finally" she could "feel the calming peaceful sunshine hitting my face." Billie Jo Howell, who with her husband has legal custodianship of missing 20-month-old Quinton Simon and his brother, took to Facebook on Tuesday afternoon to share a message that she said she had posted "years ago" and that "stands true today." "Seems there’s always a storm before the calm in my life.
Boy let me tell you it felt like a tornado was spinning everything at once," she wrote, alongside interspersed emojis. "Finally I feel the calming peaceful sunshine hitting my face." She added: "Those of you who stood with me and helped me through man y’all are amazing.
I love y’all. You all know the parts you’ve played in my life. No matter what we been through I love you." Howell did not respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment regarding the search for her grandson on Tuesday, which marked six days since the toddler was last seen.
