Why Didn't He Call?

Omygod. Lizzie just called me, and said that Gordo's mom is in the hospital. They think it might be pneumonia (sp?).

That's why he wasn't at school yesterday. They checked her in, before dawn, Thursday morning. Gordo told Lizzie that his mom was doing better this morning, than she was yesterday. My dad says that you can get pneumonia by getting a cold and not treating it, and going out and running around like everything's okay. And that's so Mrs. Gordon. The woman's like, Einstein-level brilliant, but then, sometimes, doesn't think about herself. She was probably running some big program for their synagogue, after seeing patients all day, every day.

I'm rambling, I guess to cover up how I feel. He called Lizzie this morning and woke her up, and that's when she called me. Gordo, why didn't you call us? You know I'd do anything for you, ANYTHING. Why couldn't I have been at the hospital with you last night? I could have brought you something to eat. I would have sat with you, ALL NIGHT. You know that. I'm always here for you, always. We both are. And I don't want another day to ever pass, without you calling me, and if you don't, I'm tracking you down, buddy.

Well, anyway, rant over. Lizzie and I are going out to the hospital straight from school. And you've got some 'splaining to do, Lucy.

OMG, Gordo, if you see this, I hope your mom is ok and I hope you are ok! Hang in there, kid. I know Randy and Liz will take good care of you while you help take care of your mom. Don't block out your friends when you need them most, they love you, we all love you. I mean that.

Hey, Candy. This is Lizzie.

Miranda's in the tub right now. I'm just posting here to let you know that it's probably going to be a while before Gordo's logging back in. The mother-something on the laptop got fried Tuesday afternoon, so he's kind of limping right now.

I was just on the phone with him, and told him what you said. He knows all that, in his head, but I think he's just stressed right now. We had a busy time, this evening and tonight, but I'll let Miranda tell you about it, tomorrow. Important thing is I wanted to put your mind a little bit at ease, that Mrs. Gordon's doing a little better. Very tired, but better.

Hey, Gordo, if you had a decent blog, I'd be posting over there, but we're here for you, man.
