Grey Hairs, Heartache and a Happy Ending!

Friday night I took Lacey to the airport and put her on a flight to Orange County, California. I saw her get on the plane and taxi out. When her friend Alexis and her Mom Angela arrived at the airport to pick her up no one could find her! Delta told Angela that the flight had already landed. We could not contact Lacey on her cell phone, they paged her and searched the airport for her and could not find her. The police were contacted, they called me and asked that I describe what she was wearing, gathered flight information and made sure I had seen her get on the plane in Atlanta. I tried to call Marty( Lacey's Dad) but could not get through to him for help. I was scared beyond believe, of course as soon as I was aware of the situation I began to pray, I called Lindsay Ann, Eric and Britta so they could help me think and pray. After an hour of building panic and fighting off terrible thoughts the Orange County Sheriff called me back and told me that Delta had given us the wrong information and that Lacey's plane had been delayed and had not even landed. While I was talking to him Lacey text me that she had landed. She then called me and I got to hear her voice, what a relief. She had no idea what had been going on so I prepared her. When she got off the plane she was greeted by sheriff's deputies, airport personal, a greatly relieved Alexis and Angela. They talked to her for a few minutes and then escorted her, Alexis and Angela to their car. They say you can see celebrities in Orange County Airport sometimes, little did we know people would think Lacey was one by her entourage greeting. Thanks be to GOD everything turned out great!
My baby, Lacey Kate safe and sound!
Thank you God!
