The phone call

How can a phone call change your life? The day i received that phone call from my mom is now marked as the worst day of my life. Even since, my life has dramatically changed. That was 16 months ago. At the time i had no idea that was going to happen.

Living in a foreign country, always made me feel more emotional about my family. I was 3 motnhs pregnant at the time and living with my fiance. We were having problems at the time, there was a lot of tension between us. We were both hot tempered and stuborn and things were difficult.

That day, i came back from work and i realised i've forgot my key. I was so tired as i had to drive 2.5 hours a day to get to work and come back home. I've noticed that my fiance's car was parked outside the house and i was so relieved. After ringing the bell though for several times there was no answer. Then i thought i should give him a ring. Which is when i've realised my phone wasnt working...Great i thought...So by the time he eventually heard me shouting i was quite frustrated... We of course had a fight and then his friend came by, he bought a new car and he wanted to show off...So while they were off for a drive my phone rang...

'We've been to the doctor's and your brother needs to remove a tumour, as soon as possible'. Right and then my whole world collapsed. That was the beggining of the most difficult path i had to walk. I didnt know that at the time but my life would never be the same. I didnt cry, i just couldnt think of anything. I needed a hug and a kiss but i was all alone. So i just got the car and started driving. After a while i realised i was outside my work. I thought i should head back home. By the time i was there my fiance was furious, started yelling, i completely forgot my phone wasnt working.

The lesson i've learned by now is to expect the unexpected. I wasnt expecting anything. And i was caught by surprise. Maybe you are wondering how can a phone call change someones life? And yet i'm sure there's a number of people that feel exactly the same, right?

I'm sure there's at least someone out there who knows what i'm talking about. Who's life was changed after a phone call...Just like mine did
