The auto accident that took my husband and our son. I was young, working late, it was close to Christmas and we were going to have dinner and do a little shopping. I was waiting for them to pick me up. The security guard, who was a friend, phoned my desk and told me my mother and middle sister were waiting for me downstairs. I went down. Mom’s face was expressionless, but my sister had obviously been crying. I remember thinking it had to be really bad news. 😞
