The phone in my room rings—who could this be? It was Jim the second oldest of Ann and Mike.
Vivienne, mom and dad didn’t come home, we don’t know what to do!
SHOCK—KEEP COOL
Oh Jim honey I’ll be right there!!!
I left the house fast—not even waking mom and dad—had to get to the kids fast!
When I got to Ann and mikes house the oldest three were pretty worked up. I told them I would figure it out and in the mean time—they had to be hungry. I started making them something to eat while I quietly called MY parents—
Good God———WHAT MADE ME BEHAVE SOOOO MATURELY!!!! Staying calm and focused on the kids while there was so much going wrong!
My parents made calls from their house so that the kids were not upset any further—-but this wasn’t going to be good. My heart still aches!
Beautiful life
