Day 13 in Lourdes
NOVENA DAY 5
"There! There he is! He's back!"
Mom exclaimed from the TV lounge.
Oh, thank God.
Through the large glass windows, your mother saw your head bobbing past. The lounge was on a higher floor. Mom sprang from the sofa and hurried to the entrance. Half and hour had gone by since your sudden disappearance.
Although Mom was not overly worried by your taking off unannounced, she was still fidgeting in her seat, and could not help but feel somewhat impatient for your return.
One of your parents had to remain at the anchor place, and that was Mom. That has always been the rule of the family since Justine and You were little. Go back to where You were last at with Dad or Mom, should You ever get lost in a public place.
Or stay where You are if You have forgotten how to go back to where You were, and just wait for Dad or Mom to get You.
So Mom waited at the anchor place, the hotel.
Dad would have to go look for You ... except that he did not have to since You had returned.
