We all can get caught up in life.

Betrayal.

Hurt feelings.

Then your child texts you and says, “I need to call you, badly.”

That is not our usual convo.

“Mom! I flipped my car!”

“I hit the pole.”

She just kept saying those things over and over.

I was too far away to wrap my arms around her.

That’s all I wanted to do.

My baby girl was hurt. She had an accident.

The rest of the world no longer matters.
