Waaaaa….my son got lost at SM
yesterday! He has this habit of roaming
to places whenever we go to a particular place.
The first stop we went yesterday was at National Bookstore where I bought
some writing notebooks while he browsed, endlessly, children’s books. The next stop was at the department store
where I bought Avent nipples for his sister and while I was the baby’s section,
my son was at the toy section. He
usually/normally left my side or whoever was with him and go to wherever he
wants but he always, always asked permission first so we know where to look for
him.
The last stop where he got lost
or was I the one who got lost? Was when I
bought milk and he browsed the magazines at the comic section across the milk
station. Maybe he did not see me when I was
paying at the counter because I was covered by a tall, big man. And next thing that happened that raises my
ire was he left without looking for me.
Left as in go out the department store to the parking lot. We didn’t bring car. We usually commute when I was alone with him,
so how come he went to the parking lot!
And the guards did not even notice!
A teenager saw him, looking around.
She was about to bring my son to the customer service section when my
son saw me at the place where we parted.
Thank God, the lady was so nice! Had it somebody else, oh, oh I don’t
want to think on the possibility of somebody grabbing my son. Oh please God forbid! I am just so happy that my son saw before he
was page lost.
And now I pray for the children’s
safety. Keep them away from harm. And
make me a better parent (if I’m already good).
Oh God make me a better parent period.
I know I am not. I lack
patience. Give me patience Lord.
