It's somewhere around 2am....the phone rings....as a mother of 4 daughters your heart jumps up and out as you reach for it...
Awful Thoughts swirling around
Eyes won't open
Who is Home? Who is Not? Fast mental Recall......Come on..... THINK!!!!
Oldest is home
Second one is asleep in her room
The Twins......Omg..... they are at a slumber party!
OK.... DO NOT Panic!!!
Me Answering phone...........
Mom!!!
Terrorists Blew Up the Causeway!!!
Me.....What??????
My Mind is Now Spinning out of Control.......9/11 had just happened......
Girls.....this is not funny!!!! Stop joking around and go to sleep......another caller beeps in.....
OMG!
There were no terrorists.....just one barge that changed the lives of so many......
So
