I figure that these critters really do not want to mess with humans. <br />And yeah- even now it's a bit of a trigger but not as bad by any means. I am so grateful for that.

But it's come so naturally to me to love and protect my babies. <br />I have no idea why Levon got so upset but he's not even two yet and he doesn't have the words to explain. That must be so hard. I love that his mother just held him as he asked which made it all okay.

You are also braver than me getting into the water where any Alligator might have also been present and where you know those types of Creatures live and it's their domain! But it sounded like an Idyllic Family time together and the fact you CAN enjoy the outings now makes me incredibly Happy for you even tho' it will likely always potentially be a trigger of innocence lost.

These boat outings may be difficult for you, but your kids and grandkids will look back on them fondly without any of those dark associations. I wonder why Levon was so freaked out? Maybe the sound of the motor combined with the water?Steve Reedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11684120060438252945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-66304688658813860882019-09-16T09:17:06.669-04:002019-09-16T09:17:06.669-04:00I'm glad you can enjoy boat rides with Mr Moon...I'm glad you can enjoy boat rides with Mr Moon and your kids and grandkids and the past be damned. damn those evil not right men who prey on little girls.ellen abbotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00535475792150335186noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2086296370004835655.post-79944270942338568432019-09-15T21:14:02.788-04:002019-09-15T21:14:02.788-04:00Rebecca- I love you more than words can say.

Maybe it is because the kayak is so much smaller and he's so much closer to the water, he feels more in control.Joanne Noragonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16601010208310707750noreply@blogger.com
