The Gift (Continued)

Thank You God! I found a number that looked like it might be Ace's and dialed.
I was hoping and praying that he was not out of town for work. Please God! Please God!

Michelle answered and put Ace on the line.
I said, "Ace have you heard from your Mom today?"
He replied that he hadn't but had seen her the previous day.
I explained in a panic what my story was.
Ace said "Aunt Peg I live about an hour from Mom and the roads are super icy. My car doesn't do well in this weather, but I'll call my friend Alan who lives a few blocks from her and ask him to go check on her."

I said, "Good! Call me back as soon as you know anything!"

I couldn't think! All I could do was pace around with anger on my breath! I knew! I JUST KNEW! Something was very VERY WRONG!

About a half hour later my phone blares at me again. I literally jumped, snatching it up, almost yelling "HELLO?!"

"Hey Aunt Peg, It's me Ace." Came the voice on the other end of the line.
"Ya, what's up?!"

"Alan went over to Mom's apartment and they were putting her in a ambulance! They won't tell him anything because he's not family! They did say they are rushing her to Ogden Regional, I'm headed there and will call you when I know more!"
CLICK! The phone went dead.

Steam was now spewing from my ears! I was SOOO FURIOUS!

I dialed Glory's number and said, "So do you know where Mer is?!"
"No?" she answered.

With tears welling up in my eyes and trembling lips I yelled, "On the way to the hospital! This didn't have to happen like this! I KNEW, I KNEW SOMETHING WAS WRONG! You didn't listen or do ANYTHING! I'm a world away, I can't physically do anything!"

"What!?" she answered in disbelief. "I'm sorry, I just didn't get the urgency, I'm on my way. I'll call you...."

But it is the spirit in a person, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Job 32:8

Love You Mer
