My eyes never left you – not for a moment.
We went to a water park with our children and grandchildren this summer. There were 16 of us. I was extremely thankful that all my children were swimmers--but the majority of the grandchildren were not! I have a very healthy respect for activities in and around the water. Okay, maybe I'm a bit over protective to the point of needing to watch everyone's children. Twice I asked children, "Where is your adult?" People-watch your children at the pool. Okay, I'm back. During our pool time, I was left in charge of one of my grandchildren. I told the parents, "Don't worry I'll watch her." (In the photo she's the one clutching the side of the pool.) I watched as she ventured away from me. My eyes never left her--not for a moment. However, she suddenly realized that she had lost sight of me. I hadn't moved, but she did. I watched the expression on her face change from happy exploration--to concern--almost panic. H
