Has anyone seen my son? He didn't come home last night or any time today. I tried to call him, but his phone is still in his bedroom, not with him. I tried all his usual places but he isnt their. I just want to know he is safe. Its so scary right now with the darkness, im afraid that something happened. I mite be over reacting but theirs so much going on. Please. Please tell me if youve seen him!

let me look [She'll take the time to really thoroughly check the house! It takes a little while for her to respond.] I cant find it, so he might have it. None of the usual pocket change laying around... I think he only forgot his phone.

Okay. If he didn't, he might just come home when he's hungry. But since he did, he'll be fine outside.

[courageofheart]

I hope so. But he knows how much I hate him disappearing like this.

[compendiem]

Can I ask how old he is?

[courageofheart]

[Urgh, this is where she gets self conscious about being too smothering...]

Hes 19... he still lives with me.

[Rrgh! She's frustrated with herself.]

Im over reacting.
But I can't help it.
Between the pitch dark and leaving without a word I can't stand that he didnt tell me anything!!

Overreacting means you care. When he comes home, you can lecture him and accept his apology. In the meantime, you're doing what you can: have people out there to look, have somebody at home to welcome him back.

[courageofheart]

If he doesnt come back soon im going to hunt him down myself!

[compendiem]

When is "soon"?

[courageofheart]

If hes not home by tonight im going

[compendiem]

By yourself?

[courageofheart]

Maybe one of my other boys will come too. But ill be by myself if I have to!

[compendiem]

It's be better to take somebody with you with how dark it is. If your other sons can't go, I can?

[courageofheart]

Oh, thats very kind of you.

[compendiem]

Better than wandering around alone. Let me know by tonight, I guess.

[courageofheart]

And let me know if you see him before then.

[She probably wouldn't drag him into it, but she does appreciate the sentiment.]

[compendiem]

Sure thing.
