I am sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I could not find a more appropriate forum.
As some of you may know, a bunch of us are going to go on vacation to California. Well, as we were getting ready to leave today, I realized that we had forgotten something! That something was my brother, John.
John is 6 and has autism, and he got left behind at his grandmother's house, who lives 30 minutes away. I called my parents while they were driving up to get him (they live 7 hours away) and asked them why they didn't bring him with them. They said they forgot, so I told them to hurry up because my dad works 50 miles away. My dad said he would come home early and pick him up, but my mom said no, because he wouldn't have enough time to do that. He said he would try to get there in time, but my mom said she would talk him into waiting until tomorrow morning to go get him, which would make them late.
Anyway, my parents told me they would come back for John tonight, since my mom wasn't comfortable leaving him by himself. So now I'm sitting here worried, wondering if John is okay, and also trying not to freak out about it.
If you could say a prayer for him, that would be awesome. If you have any advice or suggestions, I'd really appreciate it. Thanks, guys.

I hope you don't have to wait 24 hours. :(
But I pray your brother is safe.

I know. It's so sad. And he's such a little guy. He doesn't need to go through this. ): :(

My brother is actually the only person in my family that I'm really close with. Everyone else just treats him like he isn't even there, and they never talk to him or try to get to know him. So it's hard for me because I'm the only one who understands how he thinks and stuff. I know he can be a pain sometimes, but I love him anyway. ):

My dad still hasn't gotten home yet. So I have no idea how my mom talked him into waiting until today, because my dad usually doesn't listen to her. ):

Btw, if anyone here has an iPod Touch/iPhone, and you can download the app called "Prayer Cast," I would be very grateful if you could say a prayer for John on there. :P

Oh, also, my dad finally got home, and he said that John was actually really upset when he left. So I feel even worse than before about this. ):

Also, my brother is doing really well. He's acting more like his regular self, which is great news. I'm happy that he didn't get too upset about it or anything.

Well, we're back in California again for the weekend, and my parents left John behind with his grandparents again. So I'm worried about this whole thing happening again. :(

Well, hopefully they will make sure they bring him this time. It seems like your dad isn't very responsible.
