No Doubt it would be the time my 3-year-old son got lost and was gone for 3.5 hours.
We lived on a 2 acre lot in the middle of acres and acres of Texas shrub and pastureland covered with tanks(ponds), mesquite trees, cactus, etc. Home to snakes and scorpions and fire ants and cattle and bodies of water.
We called in a search crew and they found his footprints 1/2 mile from the house, in the mud of a creekbed, right next to the interstate. They came back and wanted pictures of him to put out on an APB ... THAT was really scary. They made me stay at the house (alone) and look under beds and in closets for him ... sigh.
3 hours into the hunt they called in a helicopter and the helicopter found him still in the creek bed (which was mostly dry) ... 2 miles from where they found his footprints ... near a train tressle.
He was ant bit, had lost a shoe, was tired and hungry, but otherwise was unharmed. THANK GOD!
Tom and I drove by that area last weekend .... gave me chills.
So glad my baby is now 15 and a GREAT KID!!
When I got the call that my sister died.
I could probably name several...
but the first one that comes to mind is the time my boss' dog escaped from my house while I was in the shower...I did find her unharmed...eventually. And of course, my dog was in on the conspiracy!
I was 7 1/2 months pregnant with my second pregnancy (the first one failed). I didn't feel well when I noticed the baby wasn't moving. I called the doctor and was told to come right in. After I signed in, I was taken to a room ahead of about 15 waiting women. The most terrifying moments were between being seen by the doctor and having a silent sonogram telling me my first daughter was dead before she could draw her first breath.
Losing my second pregnancy...definitely the most frightening thing I've been through.
The first day of second grade. It wasa the second day my family had lived in Germany, and I got on the wrong bus to school. I ended up spending all day wandering around downtown Frankfurt Germany trying to find someone who spoke English. I finally found a Militray Policeman to help me, but I did not know my address, so we drove around until I recognized where I lived. The MP got me home just as the bus let off my brothers andthe rest of the kids that afternoon.
It would have to be when I was waiting for the authorities to get to my husband's airplane after it crashed in a wooded area. Although they had already said there could not be any survivors it was sheer terror waiting to find out something for sure.
Almost drowning in the Ozarks at age 7. Terrifying followed by surreal post event episodes. that still don't make much sense today.
When my DH had three back surgeries in one month, with every complication that was possible...
I was stricken when he was in Intensive Care. Don't need that again.
BBEV
Driving through the prairies in a blizzard with a car sliding sideways down the road towards us with a semi right behind that car. Man was I terrified. Oh was on a plane with two little ones and the landing gear wouldn't go down and the pilot said there would be fire trucks waiting to spray foam for the landing. Terrified again.
