Today I had a horrible situation something that I once said it will never happen
To me:
I went with my 4 littles ones to the beach. I started to unpack and my oldest 10 wanted to get water in the bucket I said ok ( I was about 20 steps away from the shore) she took my 3 yr with her. I turned around to take the beach chair out, 2 minutes later I see her walking back without my 3 yr old. I immediately panicked. I asked her where’s Naomi and she said “ idk, I thought she walked back! Immediately went to the life guard and they alerted all of the guards in the beach, we called the police & we started looking for her and asking ppl if they have seen her, they even started to help. 20 minutes later , felt like hours and one of the life guards found her about half a mile away in the middle of the beach playing with sand. my heart dropped, I felt like an awful mother. I was thinking the worse! But thank God , and everyone that helped us find her. She is Safe. During bed time she told her dad, “ I’m
Sorry Dad, that I was playing with sand and the police had to look for me “ ….. never in a million yrs though that would happen to me right in my face . The lady that was helping us recommended to get them bracelets with our information on them and she also said “ I’m thankful you found her because my Sister got lost in the Beach in Puerto Rico 30 yrs ago and was never found! I just hugged my daughter a little tighter tonight because things could’ve went a different direction.
