We always knew we adored our Louise. But I didn't know how deeply until she ran out the door "lookin' for mommy" while we were on vacation with our east coast cousins.
My husband was home with the boys, I was off with the girls. Rick had an entire search party out for Louise when he found her on a golf course not even close to our home. He was guided by golfers, "I see her," "She's under the prickly pear on six," he'd hear over his cell phone.
What a lesson in how people whom you don't even know can help you. I feel so indebted to them - the strangers.
A week after the trauma, my husband is finally making me laugh with stories of what Louise must have been thinking.
"Mom's not here I better go protect her." "Dad, I knew I'd find you after 48 hrs hiding from coyotes on the golf course."
