How we found out about my mom’s TIA:
My sister Miriam was having problems with her brand new Kindle Fire. She had downloaded a game that amid downloading she realized she didn’t want, but then couldn’t figure out how to remove it. Since Sara, our eldest (She’s gonna love that word.) sister, also has a Kindle Fire, Miriam called her to ask for help. No one answered. She called our niece Andrea–no answer. Finally, Sara’s oldest daughter Ashley who is college age answered the phone.
My sister Miriam went into great detail describing her problem with the Kindle Fire. Finally, Ashley said that she was very sorry but she could not help. She told Miriam she’d have to talk to her mom. She was sure her mom could help.
“I tried calling your mom, but couldn’t get a hold of her,” Miriam said.
“Oh yes, she’s not home right now.”
“Well, do you know what time she will be back?”
“No, I’m not sure.”
“Well, where is she?” my sister finally asked thinking it was unusual that they weren’t home that late in the evening.
“Oh Grandpa called and said Grandma was having a stroke, so they called an ambulance, and they are all at the hospital.”
OH MY GOSH!!!!! that’s awful.
I was sitting in church one day. My parents were not there. I thought I knew why. The pastor announced from the pulpit that my dad had had a heart attack that morning.
Say what?!?!?!?!??!?!?!
I about had one right then and there. However, I found out later that the pastor was confused. My dad had a heart attack earlier that week, and the pastor thought it was just that morning. So, I was thinking he had another one.
WOW! What a way to find out! I hope everything is okay.
Everything is okay! I may have recovered faster than Miriam did!
A couple of days ago I texted Ashley, “We are at ____’s father’s wake.” She texted back immediately, “Did he die?”
I’m glad your mom is doing better.
OMG! Well, I’m glad it all turned out ok.
