Friday we took the entire family to Disneyland – 11 adults and 8 children. We made for a small village as we slowly meandered down the fairway. Thankfully, we all had matching Neiybor tee shirts that advertised Preston’s new business. Their bright blue color gave us a collective coordination that made it easy for us to identify one another in the crowd. That is to say, all of us except for two-year-old Kensley. The shirt sizes had come in too large for her little frame, so she was the exception in her little pink shirt. Perhaps that is why we didn’t notice when our blue crowd moved away from her, and she didn’t notice us leaving. It wasn’t until 10 minutes later that we noticed her missing. She was only 15 feet away from us, and two caring employees were keeping an eye on her. Frantically though, we all ran around like chickens with our heads cut off until we found her. W were all so relieved when we discovered her. Kensley was no worse for the wear, and had even been given a Minnie Mouse bridal hat to keep her distracted.
LESSON LEARNED: We all have a missing child story in our past. But in life, every member of our enlarging family group is important and has a place. We can never be truly happy if one is missing.
FEEDBACK: WHAT EXPERIENCES DO YOU HAVE WITH LOST ONES THAT GAVE YOU A BIG SCARE?
