So I blog about this story because I don't want to forget it. Not so excited about the info being out there for all but that's what I get for a blog for a journal.
Last Saturday we headed to a graduation party for a guy who works with tom. It was outside - beautiful sunny day. Corbin loved that there were big kids (meaning grade schoolers) letting him linger near them.
The yard was small enough that we could see him no matter where he wandered. He was never more than 10 feet from us. Including over at this koi pond in the corner of the yard. The bigger kids were throwing leaves in. So after they moved away, Corbin began to do so.
And then lightening fast, he fell in.
I don't remember much but I do know that when I got there I couldn't see him.
So I jumped in and fished him out.
He was ok. I was ok. I couldn't let go of him for a long time. And I couldn't breathe regularly for a really long time. And I cried and cried once we got to the car. It still makes me really emotional to think about.
It was another one of those mom moments when I realize that my connection to this little guy is much more than I ever understood before. Good to know.
He has a couple scrapes on his leg. So do I. I also have a few bruises. Like this one on my ankle.
Not sure how to wrap this up. Not
sure what the right witty phrase or moral of the story is. But I am glad those instincts override all else.
