The Call You Don’t Want to Get
When the phone rings really late at night it is never good news. I actually hate to even answer a phone that rings any time between midnight and 7:00 am. It’s going to be bad news, and sure enough around midnight we got a call that we didn’t want to get. My mother-in-law passed away suddenly and unexpected.
Today we’ll be getting things in order around the house so we can leave for Oklahoma. My sister-in-law has offered up her spare bedroom and we need to get out there as soon as possible to help with the funeral. Hubby has to get someone to cover for him at work and I have to find the church clothes and arrange for a kennel for Buster Brown.
I’ll check the airfares to Oklahoma City, but there are rarely good rates without at least 2 weeks notice. More than likely we will drive, which is a hard 18 hours on the road, but the price of 5 tanks of gas and 2 nights in a hotel room halfway there is still much cheaper than two round trip plan tickets at full fare.
