A New Truck
If
the phone rings late on a Saturday evening especially if the caller turns out
to be our daughter, I get suspicious and my imagination goes wild. I ask my husband if the kids told him why
they are coming over in 15 minutes.
I heard the knock at the back door and a sweet “hello” greeting from the kitchen. I bumped into my son-in-law in the hall. Mark hugged me like a big bear and I asked him if they came over to tell us they’re going to have a baby. He laughed and said: “Not yet!”
Then I asked him if they got a puppy. His embrace still tight he whispered: “We just bought a truck.”
We all piled in the truck and took it for a joy ride. We made loud oos and awes from the back seat to compliment their rich interior upgrades.
We got back to our house and sat around the kitchen table talking about the day’s events when our daughter, Amy, told us an incredible story.
Amy set out that morning to keep company with a girlfriend whose husband had surgery in a hospital in a mountain city north…
