The text that sent me spiraling in fear
“Call Me” was all the text read.
My heart skipped a beat.
Memories flooded my mind.
Memories of the day I received the call that…
my child was in jail.
my best friend was in the hospital.
my child was in a car accident.
my dad had a heart attack.
my grandchild had passed away.
My stomach in knots, I picked up the phone.
I dialed.
“Hello,” he answered cheerily.
“What is it?” I croaked.
“I’m at Costco. Is there anything you need?”
Instant anger.
Followed by a flood of relief.
“Eggs. We need eggs.”
