Atlanta Airport

Cameron & I flew to Atlanta today to see my sister Cammie & Kim. Had a good flight , landed safe & then probably the worst thing I have ever experienced as a Mother happen to us! You have to get on a train(really like a subway)to get to the exit of the airport. As we were getting on the train , I went in first , turn to help Cameron get his suitcase & him in & this lady cut him off & next thing I knew heard the beep , told him come on & then the doors shut with him standing on the platform & me in the train !!!! I went to beating & trying to pry the door open , him with his hands on the windows & panicking , fear & my face mirroring his. Then the train just took off. I was yelling OH My God , my little boy & busted out crying, yelling Stop! Stop! Get me off this train !!! Everyone around me was just like standing there & had there hands over their mouths! I don't know where this lady came from but she said , hang on , I'm getting the train stopped . The doors open & I left my suitcase & went down a hall exit , out an emergency door. She was like where's your stuff & I'm hysterical,didnt care but some nice person left my stuff sitting out the train. She said come on & we took off running! About half way there , my phone rang & it was another person at the airport that had got Cameron & told me where they were at. It seems like I ran for about 5 more mins & get there & no Cameron. The lady with me said let me look upstairs & she ran up . I'm in pieces , hysterical , when a man said, "momma , he's alright , I had to drop my boy off & saw what happen , so I stayed with him , he's around the corner" . I took off , rounded that corner & there he was crying & running to me ! It was awful & tears me up every time I think about it. Its just one of those things that will stay in my mind with him looking at me thru that glass & then him vanishing. Thank you Jesus there are some good people in this world ! Never saw the man again or the two women but I had one of thems number in my phone & I called her & thank her for looking out for him. Had to get back on that train to leave, still hysterical, Cameron crying , get in , it takes off & I remember some lady say you need to hold on . I got hold of the pole but fell into some man. That same lady helped us to another pole & just kept rubbing my back , saying it will be alright, while the rest of the whole train stared at me! Finally get to the exit gates & there's my sister smile'n & waving , happy , only for her face to go to oh crap, because I'm still crying & Cameron too. It was awful , I sit here crying reliving it ! I'm just thankful things turned out alright & hope I don't ever have to expirence anything like that again!
