Riiiiinnnngggg! Said the phone
"I'll get it mommy!" Said Tommy, their youngest child.
"Hello?"
"Tommy! It's Doc Ferguson! Can I speak with Mrs. Peterson please?"
"Sure! Mommy!! It's for you!"
Lizzy ran over to the phone, thinking it was Jenny, calling from Paris.
"Hello?"
"Mrs. Peterson...It's Dr. Ferguson."
"Please call me Lizzy Doc!"
"Ok, Lizzy-um....your mother-she is well, sick...."
"Like with the flu? I told mama swimming in lake in December was dumb!!"
"No, Liz.....she has cancer...."
Lizzy hung up the phone. It was as if an arrow had just gotten stabbed into her heart.
"Darling? Is everything alright?"
"Mama-she-is-sick-gonna-pass-heaven."
"Oh, Honeypot! I'm so sorry! I remember when my mum passed on...it was hard on me....but my loved ones loved me and it was fine."
"ITS NOT FINE FRANK!!" Said Lizzy, as she through a book at him.
