I just got a phone call and an email from my mom telling me that the mother of someone who was once very close to be was in a serious car accident this morning. My mom works at the Midland hospital, so she knows that they've sent Mary to St Mike's (in Toronto)...and she told me that things do not look good.
Though Erin and I have been growing apart in recent times, we were once very close, and Erin's mother is one of the neatest ladies I've ever met. She is kind, patient, loving, warm and has probably the biggest heart out of anyone I've ever met. all my thoughts and prayers are with Erin, Mary and their family right now, and we can only hope for the best.
As I was downstairs watching Behind the Music with Bon Jovi, I missed my mom's phone call, and it's too late to call her back, because I know she's working days right now and she'll be in bed. and it's silly to want to talk to her, because I know she's okay...but the posibility that she might not be is killing me...I've actually started to cry as I type this. Me, the impenetrable wall. Who has only cried once in the past two months.
The strongest emotion I can name right now (aside from concern for Erin's family) is fear...I'm so afraid for everyone I love that I wish I could just protect them all from everything that could ever hurt them. I wish that I could bring them all here, so I can see them, and know that they are okay, that they're alive and alright...
worst of all, I know that Gravity Man is out right now, drinking at the last MIA pub he'll get to go to, and that he won't be back for a good long time. And logically, I know that he's alright, and that he's having fun with his friends...but until the minute he calls, I'm going to be worried. I love him.
and I'm worrying.
and my thoughts and prayers are with the Reynolds family tonight.
