My phone buzzed.
The family chat lit up.
Then it went cold.
My daughter-in-law responded first.
“We’re too busy today. Just call an Uber.”
The message arrived with the casual tone of someone reminding you about a grocery list.
Seconds later my son added his reply.
“Why didn’t you plan this earlier, Mom?”
He’s a partner at a law firm with a name that sounds like mahogany desks and private golf clubs.
Busy people.
Important people.
I stared at the messages for a moment.
Something inside me didn’t break.
