"Hello?
Hey honey, did I wake you?
Ya, hi dad, what's up?
Well, I figured you'd be awake by 9:30, I thought I would call and put you up to date. First off, Uncle Roy will be in Shadyside today. He had a heart attack and will be having surgery. The other thing is...:::pause:::...your brother Kevin. His marine unit has been called. So he'll be leaving Wednesday..."
What a
wonderful phone call to wake up to. And
no one seems to understand where I am coming from today. I feel
anti-social, and just want to be alone, but no one understands that. I don't usually act like
this, but extenuating circumstances cause me to do so. I hope there are
happier nodes for
today.
