The Sobering Part

I forgot this, but how could I? Nicole’s mother and niece spent the night with us on Sunday, so they were our Special Guests at today’s early morning appointment. As Nicole and I were in the tiny room with the doctor setting up for the sonogram, Nicole asked if it was ok if her mom and niece came in to see too. “Of course,” the friendliest doctor in the universe replied. “But let’s make sure everything is ok before they come in.” See? Maybe it isn’t so crazy to think that awful things might happen at anytime.
