As number-one daughter said Tuesday evening, ‘what is it with this family?’
Earlier that evening, I’d learned that a member of the extended family was — good news — alive, conscious, and home.
Not good news — a vehicle had hit another vehicle, which hit another — and eventually the kinetic energy was transferred to the one he was in.
He became conscious about a half-hour later, I gather. The concussion has left him with (best-case scenario) vertigo that keeps him from walking.
But, hey: he’s alive. And he’s another person whose specific concerns are going into my daily prayer routine.
I’m writing this Tuesday evening, February 6, in central Minnesota. A Catholic Citizen in America is on UTC/Greenwich time, so “More Family Health Issues, or, NOW What?!” will be dated February 7, 2024.
Either way, number-two daughter is scheduled for surgery Wednesday: which, from where I’m sitting, is tomorrow.
I’ll say this: our lives aren’t boring.
