I'm watching football Sunday afternoon and Cullen calls and says "Dad, I'm at Michaels and I'll be home at suppertime" I said "Ok buddy...I'll see you then" 5:00pm rolls around and it's almost dark. I get a knock on the door and there is a teenage boy standing there with his dog. He asks "Is Michael here with Cullen?" I said "I thought they were at your place". He said "They went out to play a few hours ago and my dad and I are out looking for them". So he and his dad leave and now I'm freaking out!! I jump in the car and start driving around the subdivision (our subdivision is surrounded by miles and miles of forrest). I am literally terrified and beside myself!! All these scenarios are running through my head...what if they ventured too deep into the woods and lost thier way...or worse, what if they were abducted. Maybe I was over reacting but he has never been late before. On my second trip through the subdivision. I see Cullen. Michael, and Michaels dad and brother walking down the street. Apparently they were at another friends and lost track of the time. I have never been so relieved in my life. So, for those of you with children...make sure you hug them and tell them how special they are, every day. I know I will![]()
