She was 4 and I still remind her about it as a lesson. Last weekend at our synagogue, she wandered off during kiddush and I couldn't see her anywhere. When I found her, I told her how mad I was and she started crying. I felt bad about that, but she nearly gave me a panic attack. I always worry she'll be with someone else and wander off from them too. My younger son has pulled disappearing acts a couple of times. Usually by home, but he'll sometimes go off with a friend at a gathering. My oldest wandered off at FAO Schwarz in NYC when he was almost 3. That was another worst moment of my life. Thankfully, he knew where to look for us. He also got in trouble for that.Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06488832373580617482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-82274168873305647942017-05-25T09:40:16.206-06:002017-05-25T09:40:16.206-06:00Wow, you had my heart racing as well!

Somehow she got the gates open and went upstairs, only she hid, and would not for anything say where she was. My older two were so engrossed in their show they didn't know where she was. I thought she may have somehow gotten the outside door open. Finally I found her under a large pile of bedding that I was going to wash that day...but I almost had a heart attack. It was awful!

My son had been standing next to me while I was looking for his size of clothing- I looked up and he was gone. I called out for him and nothing. Ran through the entire store screaming "I can't find my son, help me!" Next thing I know an older woman walks up to me and points behind her "Is this him?!" It was. The feeling you described - the relief, the anger, the fear all at once. One of the worst 5 minutes of my life.meganschaushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08456770007055760483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-69636337400373424912017-05-23T14:22:05.593-06:002017-05-23T14:22:05.593-06:00This is the worst feeling in the world, I so can r...This is the worst feeling in the world, I so can relate.
