First Person is a daily personal piece submitted by readers. Have a story to tell? See our guidelines atWe had set out to pick chanterelles. It was one of those should we/shouldn’t we go for a walk moments. But it was such a nice, crisp fall evening and if we just went home, the kids would go bonkers and so we decided it was easier to stay out of the house. It was too early to think about supper, so we made our way to a forested area close to the city that supposedly had chanterelles.
We ended up finding a downhill mountain-bike trail, complete with ramps and jumps built from logs. My husband and son went further into the forest, while I slowly meandered ahead along the path. My daughter was behind me and called out. I replied that I was up ahead on the trail. That interaction would replay itself over and over again in my head.
Panic is a feeling that grabs hold of you before you even know what to do about it. The woods all of a sudden went from being a place of serenity and beauty to gaping holes of despair. As I looked through the bright shades of green, I was training my eyes to spot pink. Look for pink. A pink jacket. We would be that family with the lost child. The before and after scenario played out in my head. Thanksgiving weekend would never be the same. Turkey and cranberry sauce would permanently remind me of the day she was lost in the woods. The fact that my son was reassured about police coming to help us made me think of his unhampered childlike innocence.
