I get a call asking if our neighbor is at our house...no she's not over here, why? Well she didn't answer the door and we're not sure where she is. He Mom works and she stays at home alone. She is responsible and has proven that she can whit out any problem. She's 11 years old. We walked over and used our spare key and walked through the house trying not to jump to conclusions. No Haley. I drove to the near by pool and asked around, showed her picture and nothing. We couldn't get into touch with her Mom because she was working on someone's heart in surgery ( she's a heart nurse) and got her voice mail. About 30 minutes into our search she pulls up with her mothers friend with a smile on her face but wondering what everyone was doing hanging out outside her home. She was babysitting. Her mother forgot that she was going to be picked up to babysit for a friend and didn't know why her daughter didn't pick up when she called to let her know she would be late.

What I learned; Some people freak out right away and jump to conclusions immediately.

Communication is so important. Just a simple phone call could have prevented a lot of worry.

We have a great neighborhood with some great caring people that live near us.
