I called my friend today and he told me that his mother had a stroke yesterday morning. After the initial shock of the news I then asked what hospital she was in and then asked why he was not there. I only knew he was not there since I called him on his office line. He said he just started a new job within his company and did not want to leave. I proceeded to chew him out for not going to his mother when she needs him most. He said that she told him he did not have to come that she would be okay by herself. I told him to forget what she said and to get over there. I could tell this upset him. well he said he was going to call and check on her. I told him to call me back and let me know how she is doing. he called me back and told me that he was leaving work and going over there to be with her. I was so glad. I told him that it made me sad to know that his first reponse was not to go to her to take care of her. I guess this goes back to the way he was raised by her, things were not very loving. Plus he took the statment of not to come at its literal face value. After he got there he called me and told me how happy she was to see him and how glad he was that he came to be with her. I feel like I did some good. Now I pray that the tests will all come back ok tomorrow and she will be able to come home. Since she had a stroke and is still having problems, it does not look good, but I am praying for the best.
