First Publishing by Mark: A personal narrative

Panic: A True Story

Author's note: This is one of my most painful and vivid memories as a parent. I wrote about it in my blog back in 2006 after it happened, but I had never fully written all of the parts of the story. I hope new parents and parents-to-be (like my students) can learn how important it is to keep young children close. I was really scared, and it was painful to relive the memory as I wrote it. This is the first non-academic writing I've done in a long time. It was hard to choose words that would capture the overwhelming panic and despair that I felt. It is still a work in progress, so let me know what you think by adding a comment below!
