The ring made me jump out of bed.
Who is calling at 4:36 in the morning?
Dark and quiet frighten me now.
My eldest brother calling.
“If you want to see Mom alive, get here now”.
Speed limits don’t count at 4:36 in the morning.
The ambulance was just pulling out.
I looked to my brother for comfort.
He just shook his head.
It was 4:47 am and I was motherless.
