I ran downstairs to change over the clothes. I was downstairs less then 3 min. As I get up stairs I hear someone running across the floor to the top of the steps. It was Tajia. "Gabe left, he went to the park mommy"
The words that make your heart simply stop and panic shoot through you.
I grabbed my keys. Told Tajia to stay in the house. Do not leave...and do not open the door. I had no other choice.
To those of you that don't know we live right next to a river. That was my first thought. So I ran to the river and looked in there, not seeing him, I started to yell. I took out my cell and started to call 911, just as it connects I hear the girls yelling out the window that he is in the park, they can see him.
Sure enough he was about 2 blocks over in the park. On a swing. I got to him and he just looks at me and says "Gabe go swing mommy"
I carried him home, in tears...It was terrifying to say the least. I got him home and held him, told him it was not ok. He cried saying sorry over and over. He thought I was mad.
He is sleeping now. There will be alarms on that door in the morning, I have been asking for them to be put on for 2 months. I am doing it myself now.
I has been a long day....
