21-year-old still needs MOM

Friend my same age.
I have an 8 year old. Her baby is 21.
HER BABY IS 21 YEARS OLD, legal majority in all countries.
Thinking her work was finally done, my friend was on an “all night date”.
And missed the phone calls at 11 pm, 2 am, and 3 am,
From her baby,
My side hurts why?
My side hurts where are you?
My side hurts my friend is going take me to the emergency room!
My friend is the same age as me.
Lucky her kid was an independent adult.
80% of the cost of the 6-day hospital stay…
Written off…
Unusual blood clots…
My friend,
Career of women’s work…
Teaching…
BUT, not the right Union Pay Grade…
For the Good Insurance,
(Besides her kid was 21)
Paying off…
Working to pay off…
The hospital bill…
So her baby won’t have to start her life in the hole!
My friend,
There but for the grace of God…
In the larger scheme of things…
Could have been so much worse…
Could have been a tragedy…
SO LUCKY!
SOOOOOOOOOOOOO LUCKY!!!!!!!!!
Could have been so much worse…
Could have been a tragedy…
Only one baby…
Only one baby…
Only one baby.
If anything happens to that baby…
Why did I live my life the way I did?
Why did I choose her over me?
My baby!
