incoming call from sissy💕

ACCEPT/DECLINE

"hello?"

"laura, she's back in the hospital."

"what? why? i thought everything was going fine."

"it was, but-but it happened again. she had another stroke."

"no. that can't be right. they said she shouldn't have any more."

"laura, it was really bad this time. they don't know if she'll recover from it. the doctors said if she does survive, she won't be able to speak or walk again. she's already lost control on her right side."

"she has to make it. i- we can't lose our mother."

"you need to come home."

"i'm booking a flight tonight. i should be there tomorrow evening."

END CALL

yikes i had to add some drama.
just as a disclaimer: this is not trying to romanticize strokes or any illness or disease. these life threatening conditions are very real and i do not wish them upon anyone.
