  • There are two reasons why my parents don't tell me things -- they either think it's too minor and not worthy of mention, or it's too serious and they don't know how to tell me.


    I just received an e-mail from a friend of the family, addressed to me and to my parents. In it, she states that she has received a request for prayers for my family, and asks for details about a house fire.


    Excuse me?


    One thing noticeably absent from my Inbox is any sort of e-mail from my family referring to any sort of fire. This is causing me a certain amout of stress, since I don't know what's going on. It could be minor or serious. It could involve my direct or extended family. It could be a misunderstanding. I just don't know.


    By the time most of you read this, chances are I'll have gotten the lowdown on all this. It'll probably turn out to be minor, but the uncertainty is stressing me out. If you have some spare prayers lying around, perhaps you could send them the way of my family. Why? I have no idea.


    Take care

  • Hoping that everything is alright, I'd be yelling at my family after I found out everything was ok for not keeping me informed

  • .. sending love and energy ...

  • Thanks for translating that song for me via Babelfish.  Please let us know what happened at your parents' place.  There is nothing worse than not being able to contact your parents when you're working far away. When I was working in the North, my father got sick and I was on an air accessible only reserve.  Scary to think that you can't get outta there when you need to or that you can't get home quickly. Really made me rethink moving far away.

  • hey justin, just keep strong, keep the hand on the torch.  it's not like you're going to get fired if your parents house burned down.  and im not just flaming you here, you know, but if i was, im sure you could take the heat.  joey
