An unusual lost and found


LOST:

A cute, chubby, happy little boy, wide-eyed and innocent, a little boy who used to be scared of the world without Mama or Daddy holding his hand.

Lost is a little boy who mimicked Daddy�s every move, who loved horsey rides on Daddy�s back and who would say "Mitmy Mouse" instead of Mickey Mouse and "Kop Kopter" instead of helicopter.

Lost is a boy whom Daddy use to rock-a-bye and sing to sleep, a little boy who liked to play catch with Daddy but could never quite throw the ball back in Dad�s direction.

Lost is a little boy who liked to play chase under the dining-room table and giggled hysterically when he was caught. Lost is a carefree little boy who loved to sing and laugh and pull silly, little pranks on his parents and then laugh himself sick when his parents would put on a big to-do so as not to spoil his fun.

Lost is a little boy who proudly walked out of the bathroom with his face all scraped up, holding Daddy�s straight edge razor, announcing to Mommy that he had shaved his face just like Daddy.

FOUND:

A medium-sized, strong, handsome, teenage boy who walks with a bounce in every step, who carries himself with the confidence of someone ready to tackle the world and all that it has to offer, knowing that he�ll always come out on top.

Found is a teenage boy whose feet have grown too large for Daddy�s shoes and, therefore, walks his own path, making his own way in life.

Found is a teenager who isn�t sure anymore just what his relationship with Dad is and sometimes is embarrassed to be seen with Dad when his young buddies are around.

Found is a teenager who increasingly spends more time away from home, who enjoys hanging with friends a little more than he does with his own family.

Found is a teenager who long ago gave his Mickey Mouse doll to his younger brother but who still gets excited when he sees a helicopter, vowing to someday fly one.

Found is a teenager who can sometimes act like a monster and prefers to toss footballs with friends rather than with Dad and who throws the balls farther than his father ever could.

Found is a teenager who would rather flirt with the young ladies than play chase with Daddy, who sings his own tunes, listens to his own music, and can�t eat, do homework, or sleep without his radio turned on.

Found is a teenager who has outgrown horsey rides on Daddy�s back and is more interested in the horses under the hoods of cars.

Found is a teenager who is in need of his own razor to shave his ever-darkening beard, who, like a bear cub, likes to wrestle and test his strength against Dad.

Finally, found is a boy who is fast becoming a young man and has left his father somewhat lost in the world.
