It is a universal human experience to hear disconcerting news about someone you love and find everything else in life instantaneously pale in importance. We received word during the commute home today of a medical concern of a very close family member, but at this point results remain unknown. To see that someone in your family has called again and again on your phone but not left a message rarely results in casual conversation. Following, you go about the patterns of your life - dinner, dishes, television - but, if your mind wanders, it always snaps back to focus on the situation at hand, a guilt chiding you for thoughts found elsewhere.
Tonight, waiting, wondering and praying for a positive and uneventful outcome.
About Me
- Stina
- Ardmore, PA
- In May of 2008, my husband and I drove cross-country from Portland to Philadelphia. He is in graduate school until November 18, 2010. Until then, I'm seeking out the best (and invariably tripping over the worst) of Philadelphia and its environs.
