Dad kept telling me to hurry up and get dressed, which just stressed me out even more, and suddenly I started crying.
I just wanted to stay home. So Dad took August to school that morning and Mom said I could stay home, and the two of us cried together for a while.
One thing I knew for sure: however much I missed Grans, Mom must have missed her more.
All those times August was clinging to life after a surgery, all those rush trips to the ER: Grans had always been there for Mom.
It felt good to cry with Mom. For both of us.
At some point, Mom had the idea of our watching The Ghost and Mrs. Muir together, which was one of our all-time favorite black-and white movies.
I agreed that that was a great idea. I think I probably would have used this weeping session as an opportunity to tell Mom everything that was going on at school with Miranda and Ella,
but just as we were sitting down in front of the DVD player, the phone rang.
It was the nurse from August's school calling to tell Mom that August had a stomach ache and should be picked up.
So much for the old movies and the mother-daughter bonding.
Mom picked August up, and the moment he came home, he went straight to the bathroom and threw up.
Then he went to his bed and pulled the covers over his head.
