Grandma Had A Heart Attack....It's A Secret

It's never a good thing when you get a phone call from your Dad, asking if you know your younger sister's phone number. It is really not good, when you hear the level of panic in his voice raise a notch, when you say no. And it is for sure not good when the panic in his voice is coupled with a sigh of pure frustration.

This is the type of phone call I just got.

Apparently my Dad is trying to get a hold of my sister, who works in the same building as my mother, so he can get a hold of my mother. Apparently, yesterday, Nana Bird had a heart attack. A minor heart attack. She is in the hospital. My father knows this because he works at the hospital she has been admitted to.

It seems as though Nana Bird, had the heart attack, had my aunt, her daughter, my mother's sister, take her to the hospital yesterday, and swore her to secrecy about it. Gahhhhhhhhhhhh.

WTF, no one in my friggin family can keep a secret. Ever. Except now.

So now I am slightly freaking out, because she is the only grandparent I have left, and I have not seen her in forever. Not only that, last week, I had the weirdest feeling about her. Thought I need to go see her soon, because she won't be alive for much longer. Ackkkkkk. I hate when I go all paranormal. It has happened before.

Dad did say he would call me back when he found out what was going on, and after he figured out how to get a hold of my mother. Of course I want to go see her. Now. But I can't. I have two toddlers sleeping. One car seat. Three kids to get off a bus in less then three hours, and no one to watch them or Spenser, since Rob is currently on the opposite side of the country.

I love my grandma (spenser calls her Nana Bird). I do not like her views on certain groups of people, or her ideas on what she considers morality, or even how she treats my mother. But I love her. I hope she doesn't die before I can go tell her that.

I think I may throw up now. Ackkkk.
