We said Goodbye on Saturday

Hey guys...

I guess when it rains it pours...I just received a phone call from my mom.

They hauled my sister away in an ambulance...accidental drowning is the ruling right now...My mom found her unconscious in the tub and has been trying to revive her and get her coherent and it wasn't working.

She has to wait at home for the detectives before they will even let her get to the hospital. Last she heard from the hospital was they were going to ventilate her.

Here I sit 2000 miles away and one of my "children" (I had legal custody of my sisters when I turned 18) is sitting in the hospital on the brink of who knows what...right now things are fuzzy from my mom and she is hysterical.

Man, sorry to hear that, Macro. I'm not too much for praying, unfortunately, but I certainly wish your sister the best I can.

Whoops, never mind, I figured it out. Best of luck, Macro.

I don't know what to think other than the worse.

The crisis worker just told my father that he and her siblings need to get there as soon as possible...

My dad is booking all of our tickets as I type this and I will probably be on the 615 flight out of here.

I wonder why? I don't think it would have been possible to either keep me out of the ambulance or right behind it... unless I was too distraught to drive.

This is the interesting part...because they found her, they held her for questioning and even took pictures of the place...so I do not know the whole story.


I am on the 615 flight out of here to Utah...Just called work to give them the heads up I might need next week off...

I will provide an update when I get things squared.
