Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

We sit there and I keep looking at the corner my baby disappeared around.
I am waiting for him to come back, and it seems to be taking forever...
I have nervous mother syndrome, and he tells me to relax...

I try but it ain't happening... [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Lets go get him I say...

Ok...

We head downstairs, and around the corner and almost run into them.. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img] They are heading back arms loaded with cars and trucks [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/704555_dwl.gif[/img]

I blush when he gives me that "I told you so" look [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/blush.gif[/img] and I shrug...

Back to the room we go, and Dwight is there to do the housekeeping...

The kids watch the Cars DVD, and we spend time on the veranda. Swedish calls and I tell her he found me, that Seveen sent him, and she is down at Bar-B-Barn waiting on us. I tell Swedish we will meet her there in a little while...

Just then the little boy Ricky comes out and says "where is your little boy?"

[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif[/img] "WHAT??" [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/shocked.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

Isn't he there watching the movie with you?

No...

Dwight is in the bathroom cleaning and left the front door open [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]

I go running down the stairs with him, he tells the other maid, and we all go separate ways in search of Imanni [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img] [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70394-bawlout.gif[/img]

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

I was a wreck, but I try to talk myself down...

This place is fenced all the way around, he can't get out...

The maid goes right toward the office, and I go left toward the beach...


I am searching the beach frantically looking for my son...

I don't see him [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img] I turn back to look at the property, and here comes the maid walking down the sidewalk carrying Imanni in her arms...


lord [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70384-praying.gif[/img]


I run to her and grab him and hug him and thank her...

I scold him BIG TIME for leaving the room...

She found him in the parking lot playing with a car...


eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeekkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk..... . [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek.gif[/img]


It takes me a minute to recover from that anxiety, I bolt the door and tell Dwight to keep it shut please...

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

lawd gawd bandi....i'm having flashbacks to the first time i misplaced my 3yo.....i was down searching the river when someone picked him up heading downtown to visit granmma at work...he was on his trike, pedaling like crazy across hwy 46.

he's 39 now & much easier to keep track of....

can i tell you again how much i'm enjoying your report?......thiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis much.

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

OMG! I was on pins and needles reading about him missing! I am so relieved he was found safe and sound! ((((Imanni)))) How scary! I can only imagine how thankful you were!
Oh, and I was soooo happy to hear you finally got reunited with "him!" Sooo romantic! [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70377-loveeyes.gif[/img]Is he still single? This is like a great novel..that you just don't want to put down...I am so sad to read that you have just one day left of your trip ...I want your story to keep going and going!
Ok, let me hush, keep writing...I am here with ya...

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

After the kids movie is over, and I have had a chance to settle down [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/helpsmilie.gif[/img] we say good bye to little Ricky and head towards Bar-B-Barn...

The high's and lows of the day are taking their toll on me, and I am walking slow. Imanni and "him" walk up ahead of me holding hands...



[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/inlove1.gif[/img]


We reach Bar-B-Barn in no time, and I see the boardies gathered at a table outside...

Imanni is already running to his Auntie Swedish when I walk up. JamaicaMiss is there, and so is Seveen. I say hello, but I don't have time to sit down before Imanni is running in the gift shop, and comes running back out with maracas [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/eek2.gif[/img]

I take the maracas from him and go ask the lady how much they are? Not too expensive I decide to buy them, then I take a look around... there are some cool things in here, and I have not bought any souvenirs... I browse through the store, and Imanni is out at the tables with Abu. I look through the window and I see that "he" is watching over Imanni...

I decide on some t-shirts for my friends, 2 matching tees for Imanni and I, and an ashtray for Uncle Truck...

I go to get my credit card out, but I had left it in my other purse [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/frown.gif[/img]

I ask the lady to save my stuff, and I will be back in the morning before I leave. she says ok, and I see Laurel join the boardie table outside [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70371-jump.gif[/img]

I head out and hug up Laurel...

I am feeling frazzled, tired, sweaty, and in need of a shower...

Seveen says she will watch Imanni tonight, but wants him to come to Bar-B-Barn instead of her come to BCC [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70402-thinking.gif[/img]

I tell her I am going to head home, and I will get back to her later...

I wish I felt better, and I wish Imanni would just sit still for 10 minutes so I can visit, but alas neither happen, and I tell "him" I want to go back to the room...

He has some things to do, but says he will call me in a little while....

ok, no problem...

Imanni and I walk back to the condo together, and I take a few shots of my last sunset in Negril...

Re: As Deep as the Ocean...

I am going to go pack the car now, and hit the road.

I will try to write the finally tonight, if not it will be tomorrow....


peace and love,

Take your time Bandy. As much as I want more right now, I know this is coming to an end and I don't want it to end! Safe travel home.
