I just want to go home to my Mom. Not because I am a big baby but because I feel like she needs me. She's had a rough 5 days and I'm thousands of miles away and I can't do anything about it.
First my brother was up for this job. He works part-time at this place and a full-time job opening came up. They told he basically had it. Then on Friday they gave the job to someone else. No explanation. Bud was devastated. The job was so perfect for him and he was so excited. For a few moments I was angry at God for setting him up for such disappointment. My Mom was equally disappointed. She worries constantly about Bud's future.
On Friday night my favorite aunt came home from work. My cousin San and Little Jon-Jon (the youngest of the Jons) were home waiting for her. San opened the front door to let her in but stayed inside. My aunt got her purse and briefcase from the back seat and headed for the door. Suddenly a man came from behind her wielding a machete. My aunt remembers seeing the blade glisten in the moonlight and feeling faint. She was quick thinking despite her shock. She offered him her purse and he took it gladly. Then he looked up at the open front door and seemed to want to enter the house. My aunt thought of her children and threw her briefcase at him. "Take it and go! Please!" Fortunately he listened and my aunt ran inside, locked up and called the police. My Mom's voice was shaking as she recounted the details to me on the phone. I just wanted to go home. What could I do? How could I make her feel safe?
On Monday morning my Mom was on her way to her office. She was waiting to make a turn into the office complex when a car came barreling down from the opposite direction. The other car lost control and came over onto her side of the street hitting her head on. Fortunately she was able to walk away from the accident. She did however sustain a broken hand and back and neck injuries. She called me this morning on her way to physiotherapy to tell me the news before one of my gossipy relatives got to me first.
I miss my Mommy and I feel so helpless sitting here. I should be home looking after her. That's what grown children do. When I got pneumonia two years ago she flew up to take care of me. Alas, I don't have the dough to go. I've never felt so far away in my life.

Poor sweetie Nat- what a horrible turn of events. The good news is that it is behind all of you and no one was more seriously hurt. And just like lightening striking in the same place twice, the odds of those things happening again to those you love are more remote.
Regarding your brother's job, No door closes that another doesn't open. In the job game more than any other. Maybe the person they chose will genuinely screw up and give them a whole new appreciation for Bud.
It will all work out.

I hope you're right Susan. Bud could use a break. Thanks
