..and the phone rings......


My phone rang yesterday afternoon. Another tele-marketer I thought, but no, it was a number I recognized. I t appeared to be my very good friend calling, which I found humorous, because I was thinking about calling him all weekend, and several times almost picked up the phone and called him. Wish I did. On the other end was my friends wife and I could tell my her tone of voice things weren't good. Being overcome by dread as  the words haltingly came out., "Blairs had a heart attack......is in the hospital...prognosis is not good......Shock, pure and simple, flooded my mind. Noooo was all i could moan out, no ,no ,no, God why didn't I call??? Why??.... I guess it wasn't meant to be. So if any of you out there ever get the little voice in your head telling you to phone someone, just do it!
Thanks for listening
