I have never been so scared in my life.

Friday we had to finish up some shopping and we were at Gordmans looking at clothes and we lost Drew. We both started yelling for him, just waiting for him to yell back or be hiding in the clothes rack. I started running up and down the aisle, pulling Jillian along in the cart, looking under the racks for little legs and when he wasn't in the area. So I ran to the front doors, so no one could leave the store with him. Andy went to the customer service desk. The radioed and he was with another associate and headed for the desk. I had no idea what was going on and my mind was racing. I could hardly believe this was happening. My heart was pounding and my world was crashing. Finally I saw Drew in Andy's arms and burst out crying. I was holding him and crying and you could see the concern on Drew's face. He was worried about his mama being sad. He said he would make me happy and gave me a hug and kiss. I asked him if he was looking at something or following another kid and he said that he was following the path. He ended up at the complete opposite corner of the store and he walked right past the front doors. Anything could have happened to him. It still scares me now thinking about it. On the way home I asked Andy how long he was missing and he asked me how long I thought it was. I said 15 minutes and Andy said it was 3, 4 minutes at the most. It was the longest 4 minutes of my life. When we talk about it Drew says, mom I lost you. Now we have talks about staying by mommy and daddy and of course Andy and I are much more attentive. I so am thankful that he is okay, I couldn't live my life with out him in it.
