I'm glad that my mom blogs too...
because we generally see the same things. Sometimes that's a pain as it leaves us with the same things to blog on, but sometimes, like today, it's nice just to have someone else recap it because I just emotionally don't have it in me.
So here you go.
You can follow that link and read about my worst moment as a parent so far, and in my life, period.
All I can say is that I will never underestimate how fast Sophie is again. I have never felt so helpless in my life, searching frantically along the shore of that murky water and having no idea if my daughter was under its surface.
I am praying that God allows me to remember this lesson, but to allow me to stop freaking out every few hours about it still.
Thank you, God, for keeping Sophie safe when I wasn't there to. Thank you for the reminder of who Sophie belongs to, and for allowing me to keep her longer.

I'm so sorry you were so frightened. I was terrified, just reading and I know that's not even 1% of what you went through as her mom. I, too, will pray that you find peace with it. Hugs.
So thankful that the situation ended so well! Most of us have been there, done that - and we'll all tell you it was the scariest moments of our lives!
As much as I would like to say, "Don't beat yourself up over it." I know, as a mother, it won't do any good.
I "lost" one of my children once. And that was all it ever took. He was only two house down from ours and was sitting on their back porch crying (no one was home). That feeling will never leave me. But when I think of letting my kids walk instead of ride in the cart (or hold on to the side) I remember how I felt when I couldn't find him. And I quickly change my mind.
I am soo glad Sos was okay and that a kind lady found her. Give her a lot of hugs.
Reading that story on your Mom's blog was definitely stressful, but probably NOT nearly as stressful as it was for you and your Mom. Thank God that He had his angels watching over her!
ANDI! IT'S ANDY! I cannot believe you are a mom blogger! Jessica and I have been parent blogging since the day Rowan was born! it is a great way to vent and keep the parents and friends out of town up to date.
