A Moment that Made my Heart Stop!

With it being Monday, I went to work at 6a and Ivan was to drop Emery off at Grandma's at 930a so he could be at work at 10a. Around noon, Danny, my brother in law, called my cell phone. My heart stopped for a second because, honestly, he never calls me. I called him back and he began to say "when you drop Emery off, be aware they are doing road construction and the road is closed, blah, blah, blah". I stopped him and said, "I'm at work, didn't Ivan drop Emery off?" Danny says no and that they haven't heard from Ivan. I told him I had to call Ivan to see what was going on and hung up.

I then got a little worried. I hadn't talked to Ivan all morning, which isn't unusual, but if Ivan hadn't gone to work, he would have called me to tell me. So, I call his cell phone, no answer. I call again, no answer. I call the home phone, no answer. I literally called each number 10 times within just a few minutes. Oh, and a text to Ivan asking if everything was ok. No answer, no response. I then call Danny back and say "you still haven't heard from Ivan?" Danny says no and I explain that Ivan should have dropped Emery off at 930a. He then senses I am worried and says he will call his mom and Ivan again. By that time, I am freaking out. I go over to my friend Jenn and explain the situation and have tears in my eyes. I tried calling my Mom to go to the house but she didn't answer. I am thinking the worst ... that the house caught fire and my family is gone or that there was a car accident. I then decide to leave work to drive home to check on them and tell Jenn I'll be back.

Then, Danny calls back and says, "I guess Ivan did drop Emery off this morning. Sorry, I must have misunderstood." Oh my god, I was relieved and pissed at Danny all at the same time. I can honestly say that I felt like my world stopped for a few minutes due to the fear of thinking something had happened to my Husband, baby and Carter boy. I'm so glad they are healthy and fine!
