We were getting ready to leave for camping. Everybody was rushing around doing last minute things. Kevin went outside to hook our camper up. I was inside doing some things. My mom and dad were also here. Mom said,"Where is Brooke?"
I said "In the playroom I think." Mom started yelling for Brooke and could not find her. I told mom that Brooke might of went outside with her daddy.
Mom quickly goes outside. Brooke had went outside and not told anybody. (She never does that) Kevin was getting in the Durango and fixing to back up when he looked in the mirror and saw Brooke and heard her saying, "Daddy, Daddy."
It gave us all a scare. That is how fast something can happen. Everybody thought Brooke was somewhere, but she wasn't. If Kevin had not looked in his mirror he would of ran right over her because he had no idea that Brooke was outside. No matter how careful we are, our children can get in dangerous situations before we know it. I have to say thanks to God for protecting Brooke and allowing Kevin to see her in time.
I held her, hugged her and talked to her. I told her to never go outside without telling us. All this brought tears to my eyes as I thought about what could of happened. I tried to explain to Brooke and she got all teary eyed on me. I was using a very gentle voice with her, but I think she thought she was in trouble.
As I am typing this Brooke just came up and said, "Mommy, Can I go outside?" :) Maybe she will ask from now on. Well I really am going this time. Talk to you all when we get home. I hope all of you have a great week.
Blessing to you all,
Denna
(Sorry I don't have the pretty signature many of you have, but I can't figure it out. I tried it, but it never would show up.)
Brooke just came and gave me a kiss and said," I love you. You are the best littlest mommy."
I am glad she thinks so, but I think she needs to leave the littlest out. LOL
