Splat

Dad: "Amber.... Amber.... Amber...."

Sleep sleep sleep.....

"Amber..... Can you wake up and talk to me for a second?"

No.

"Amber..."

Uh.........

:):):) Sound familiar?:) This morning my parents were called to the hospital early for a man from our church. So, they left early and we had gotten ice early this morning. Needless to say, church was canceled and I was bored at home and my parents were gone a lot today. So, I decide to go out and get the mail from yesterday.... (reminder: it's icy).... And I made it..... Almost..... I was probably about a foot from the door. And it was a SPLAT. Not a graceful move to catch myself.... SPLAT! :) Now, you should understand that even in my pain, I had a little bit of pride left.... At which time a van was passing down our road:) You may also know that n spite of it..... I have a weird sense of humor:) I laughed.... my dog, which had been my shadow for the day, Stood and stared at me as if to say..... "What are YOU doing on the ground? I thought I was the one supposed to be this low.":):):) So, with a slightly scraped arm, and a hurt pride, I go on with life;)

What time was it that you fell? Was that the earthquake that I felt in Ohio? You are too cute! I just love to tease you! Did you get hurt? I am anxiously waiting to be able to see you again! Let me know when you can make it. We love you very much!

I am not laughing at your fall, because I know what that is like. I still have a messed up knee from when I fell at GBS, on the incline to the dining hall. That's been a long time ago, too. Clear back in December. Talk about hurting ones pride, that fall was devastating. Hope you feel better soon. No more falls! Love ya. Aunt Cheryl
