Today I had a really important meeting. I found out I get to make some changes at work that I’ve been working for for a long time. Towards the end, my stupid phone rang. My mom. She’d have to wait. I quickly selected “ignore” on the phone and finished making my points. The meeting was over and I picked up my phone to listen to my voice mail. Before I could hit the button, my phone rang again. This time it was my sister. I answered, feeling a vague stirring of worry settle into my stomach and stretch up into my throat. My sister has preeclampsia and they were really hoping she would be able to carry the kiddo another few weeks, but decided today that it couldn’t wait. Mom and Dad are hopping in a car right now to head to West Texas to be there. Everyone’s a little uneasy. With Colleen out of the country, there’s not much for me to do but pace and worry. Keep us in your thoughts and prayers, friends.
