The scariest moment for a parent

Saturday we took the kids fishing. It was their first experience so I was super pumped about sharing fishing with them (I'll write a post with pics later). During our trip I was on one end of the 'pier' and Mila was at the other end and I looked up to see her flailing in the water. Without thought or hesitation I dropped my rod and dashed the 30 years to other other side. Dani, one of our good friends who was fishing with us, had the presence of mind to reach in and pull Mila out before I could even get there.

I can't even begin to tell you the rush of emotions I had as I saw my child in the water and then on the pier recovering. For Mila's sake who was still in shock I held back my tears until we had ensured she was OK.

As a parent I can't imagine there being something scarier than loosing a child.

When it was all over Mila was definately one cool customer who did not seem very fased...but I was a wreck on the inside.

Today...thank God for your kids and let them know how much you love them.
