Morning surprises....
I got a text message from a HS friend... at 7:30 am. Now, most of my friends know that I am a) not a morning person and b) still on vacation time, no matter how little of it I have left. I grumpily got up and checked the phone... and it was a sort of emergency. A friend of mine from HS, who I haven't heard from or been able to find for over 7 years, she lost her little boy (5 years old I think?) to a gunshot wound on Tuesday. My friend texted me to say I should call her and would I like her number. Hell yes I want her number! I've wanted her number for YEARS and no one has been able to find her. Now I am torn... I want to call her and tell her how much I've missed her and how long I've been asking people if they knew where she was and what her number is. But, she just lost her son.... and I need to comfort her about that too... and for that I wish I could be there in person. And I am here waiting to call her... and I'm nervous.... what do you say to a friend who just lost thier child whom you haven't spoken to in years but have always wanted to find? I'm actually nervous.
