When It Rains, It Pours!

I’ve heard that phrase before, but never really associated it with much until this past Sunday.

When I got home from work Sunday morning, I noticed my son’s car was gone.  So I asked my hubby where he was.  He told me he was in his room.  Then I asked where his car was, thinking  maybe it had been stolen,  and he told me he had wrecked it.

My first thought and question as a Mom was, “Is he alright?”  Yes, he is alright.  No one was hurt in the accident.  Thank goodness!!

So what happened?  He had gone to Taco Bell to get some Cokes just after I left for work at 10:30 p.m. Saturday night.  He had the accident while trying to exit Taco Bell.

Of course, all kinds of thing were going through my head at this time…insurance claims, tickets, deductibles, college schedule, etc.  I managed to calm myself down and think….it’s Sunday.  All of this can be figured out tomorrow (Monday). 

Then my husband’s cell phone rang, but he didn’t get to it in time.  Someone left a message.  So I checked his message for him and it was his younger sister asking him to call her.  It was important.  He called her and got some disturbing news.  Her husband had died during the night of an apparent heart attack!  Bummer!  So sad and distressing for her.  Her son was handling everything for her and I’m sure she was relieved not to have to do that herself.

Now, when I hear “when it rains, it pours”, I can definitely relate.  I hope and pray that all works out well for all of us.
