Dear friend,

You know that feeling in the pit of your stomach when you’re in bed, totally asleep, and suddenly the phone rings? You look at the clock… 4:17 am… you think, “I hope this is a wrong number because no one would be calling at this hour unless it was bad news.”

It wasn’t a wrong number.

It was my sister… “Just wanted to let you know… don’t worry… she’s stable now… heart attack… resting comfortably… Daddy is hanging in there… a few more days in the hospital for observation… probability of open-heart surgery…”

My heart was pounding, my breathing was erratic, sort of dizzy, trying not to cry, trying to listen and think ahead at the same time… I was so confused I kept asking, “What?” I’ve never been that afraid.

When I finally hung up the phone, a kind of numbness came over me. I wanted to cry but I couldn’t. No chance of going back to sleep. So many thoughts racing through my mind. So many questions. So much unfinished business. Memories, plans, unanswered questions. But at least for the time being, my mother was stable.

But the questions didn’t stop. What should I do now? Who could I find to give me some straightforward answers? How could I help her and my Dad in the months and years to come?

I needed answers… NOW!
