Cameron

Yesterday I lost Cameron for about 5 minutes. It was by far the worst 5 minutes of my life. We were walking home from the pond and he cut through the grass between the houses while I walked his bike home on the road. He has done this before and waited for me on the driveway. When I got home yesterday he wasn't there and immediately I panicked. I was screaming his name and he wasn't answering. I kept going back and forth between the backyard and front yard. An AT&T worker stopped what he was doing and started looking. A worker across the street yelled "he's right here" and I looked and it was a boy from down the street. Every second that passed was so sickening. I ran to the Moore's down the street because that is his favorite place to go. When they said he wasn't there I thought I wouldn't make it. I could hear Kim telling the boys to get on their bikes and start looking. It all sounded like a piece from a horrible movie. As I was running back to ring another neighbors door it hit me that maybe my front door was unlocked and he went inside. I never leave the door unlocked so it didn't seem possible. When I opened the door I could here him coming down the stairs from his room. He remembered his new batman underwear on his way home and wanted to change. It never occured to me that he could have gotten into our house that is always locked up. I am posting this so we can all remember to be more careful.
