Day 13 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 5

Uncle Peter appeared about ten minutes later and said he couldn't find You. Aunt Laura told him not to worry, and assured Mom that, You couldn't have gone far.

Mom's thoughts exactly.
Dad had gone to the grotto earlier that morning.
Uncle Peter had in fact bumped into Dad while searching for You at the grotto, and had asked your father,
"Have you seen Daniel?"
to which Dad apparently responded,
"Which Daniel?"
Dad was unsure as to whom Uncle Peter was referring to. It did not occur to your father that Uncle Peter was referring to You.
Uncle Peter told your surprised father,
"YOUR Daniel ... He walked out of the hotel on his own. We've been looking for him but we can't find him ..."
