Connections

Tuesday morning, 2 a.m

14409735862 : We are at the ICU.
Through sleep, she registers this number that looks like home.
"Mom, I just got this text message. Are you guys okay?"
"We're fine, what message are you talking about?"

14409735862 : Please come, she doesn't have much time left. She's asking for you.
The phone rings and rings with no replies, her call ends in a text message and voicemail.

14409735862 : She didn't make it, why wouldn't you come see her?
When he calls, they talk. "I'm so sorry for your loss. Whoever you are, whatever she meant to you, I hope you find peace. I wish you'd seen my messages last night and called the right person instead of me."
