It is such a scary thing. How awesome that you were able to communicate with him even though he didn't speak English. You were definitely 'Jesus with skin on'.<br>Thanks for sharing. ~Jessicathesavingmomparentshttp://thesavingmomparents.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097035028844947.post-20846631889936380962011-02-02T05:32:27.328-08:002011-02-02T05:32:27.328-08:00Tara, This story brings back a memory from a lil o...Tara, This story brings back a memory from a lil over a year ago, I was walking thru Magic Kingdom one day, right before the babies were born, There were thousands of people walking around as they were dispercing from a parade. Being pregnant at the time I was walking a little slower than normal when I saw a lil boy about 4 years old, in a red shirt, standing in the middle of Main Street looking around in panic, tears streaming down his face. I walked over too him and knelt down and asked where his mommy was and the look he gave me I will never forget. The fear in his eyes was astounding. I told him to stay with me and we would find his mother...as I took that little hand I couldn't imagine the fear I would feel if I lost my child in a place that crowded. I walked him over to lost Children and the Disney Staff took over but the little boy didn't want me walking away, but sadly they take him into the office being as kind to him as I would have been, and I headed down the street...a couple minutes passed when I saw a woman with frantic eyes searching the crowd and calling her son in their native language, without hesitation I walked up to her and I asked her what her son was wearing and in broken english she told me he was wearing a red shirt, I told her to follow me as I had just left her son. After walking back to the office and watching a very tearful reunion, mine included, She just stood up and hugged me so tight and I looked down and the lil boy was grinning ear to ear. It was a day I will never forget. I'm so happy that it was a happy ending because I know my heart couldn't take it if I ever lost one of my children for any amount of time.

I totally had a similar incident when Marissa was a young girl and she got lost on an elevator while we were in a courthouse in Indiana. Oh goodness I was so scared and she was alright but I took the stairs two at a time and beat her to the second floor before the doors opened. She has been so afraid of elevators since then that she makes sure everyone is on before she lets the doors close, poor kid.<br>Good thing God puts us in special spots with listening ears at special times to help those who are lost and wandering looking for help.Zazzy Episodeshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10840442693927025940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24097035028844947.post-12682556618120669302011-02-02T22:12:07.703-08:002011-02-02T22:12:07.703-08:00You all are so wonderful...it feels great to know ...You all are so wonderful...it feels great to know there are fellow-moms like you all that take the time to care for a scared child.
