The phone call from hell....
We got one at about 5:00 today. Hubby answered the phone, and his face went ghost white. He said, "James was in an accident and died."

I FREAKED OUT, my 10 year old was screaming, it was horrible chaos.

Come to find out, it was NOT my 23 y.o SON, but a friend of ours named James.

I'm still shaking. Sad for our friend :cry: Still waiting to hear from my son...

3. Dear Lord what a shock!
I'm sorry about your friend, but whoever made that phone call should have thought for just a moment HOW to deliver that kind of a message.

5. Holy shit! If I was there, I'd give you all a drink;
because I bet you all need one.
