Tragic! One of our little boys was like this, always running off. If I had ever taken my eyes off of him, he would have been gone. Never felt danger and at 18 years old he died in a car wreck. I told him when he was 16 and got his first speeding ticket that he was going to die young. He laughed at me and in 2 years he was gone.
My other son was always holding my hand and he has grown up to be a fine man and a good husband and father.
Yep, when my teenage daughter is out, I’m constantly tracking her location.
So sorry that you lost your son so young.
Sometimes I think it’s a miracle that any of us make it through our young years. But for the grace of God, many of us would perish as teenagers...
