unexpected phone calls

So I think I might not fear the phone anymore. The waiting for a sudden call, a sudden call of bad news that is hung in the back of my mind since I got the call about Dad. How a phone call could change your life so tragically and instantaneously. That fear has hung back in the corners of my mind for a long time.

But luckily the phone has potential for great news as well. That call came on Friday. My sister is pregnant!!

And I get to be an uncle.

And that is truly great news.

And my family has needed that, especially with all I have put them through of late.

I for the first time might actually be a little sad i don't live in Yuba City anymore.

I said a little.
