A mother's nightmare come true

The morning of March 18th 2008 will forever be remembered as possibly the worst day in this mother's life as on the eve of the 17th, my daughter, Nicole, decided to run away from home because she found no other solution to her unhappiness here at home. For the next 3 days, I was living in a hellish nightmare I was hoping I would wake from, only I was actually living it. She left without any identification with her boyfriend (who is the same age as her) in his family's car for parts unknown. Trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together as to where she may have gone on a few small clues was all that kept me from falling apart. Through alot of prayer, loving support from my family and friends and God's intervention, Nicole was found safe!!
