a year ago he climbed over a the fence and was GONE. Of course i panicked ... after looking for about 2 minutes i knew he was gone and called police. I could barely get the words out to tell them what had happened. Luckily a policeman saw him wandering in and out of traffic and knew something was right. Luckier still that a friend of mine saw the policeman struggling to get Daniel in the car and stopped and helped. The relief was immense...but the fear never ceases. I did put a better fence, but i still cant let him be out there alone, and neither can gerald. I dont have a support group here. We are really out in the middle of no where, but that is a good idea. Gerald stops what he is doing constantly to check on Daniel .... doesnt trust me to watch him, even tho I do not take my eyes off of him a minute anymore (yes i am paranoid too).
I wish Gerald wouldnt have such fear ... Im sure its not good for a child to feel that much fear growing up...and it really makes me sad that he does.
