Lost and found in the zoo

                                                                                      

                         Lost and found in the Zoo

I still remember that day as if it was yesterday, the confusion in my  

mind and all the people around. That was how a nice day became to

be gray.

I remember that I was in the zoo looking for the monkeys with my

mommy and in the next second I was lost. I remember the animals

around, turtles, birds, kings and more. I remember how happy I

felt looking at  things that I had  never seen before.

I was only four years old, too little to talk very well with people and too

scared to talk with strangers. What could I do? Where was my

mommy? These were the questions in my mind that made me make the best

 

decision look for my mom!  

After I took that decision, I started to walk, but that zoo was too big for

my little eyes and everything was confusing for my young mind.

I built up enough courage and decided to go

back to the last place that I remembered I saw my mom, wishing that

she was there too. I felt nervous and confused bit I kept searching hoping I would

find her.

After I ran around for 15 or 20 minutes I was anxious, exhausted, birthing heave

nut with the hope to find my mom.

I saw a lady with a blue dress and curly hair like my mom. Is it her? My heart

started to pound really fast. I yelled “mommy! mommy!” and the lady  turned to see.

I started to cry by the time that her arms hugged me. It was her, it was my

dear mommy who returned to that place trying to find me. She was the

same or more scared than I was.

She hugged me really strong and that made feel safe. I still remember

how much loved and protected I felt when I finally found her, Her eyes were wet,

she was crying but not because she was sad if not because she was feeling that

her heart was back, she had a huge smile on her face showing her happiness to

found me.

 That was one of the many times that I could see how much she cared for

me and she still does it.

Definitely a mother's love is incomparable!!!
