A cloudy day, matching my emotions. I couldn’t think of anything other than the news I was waiting for. Is he okay? My heart nearly stopped when my phone started ringing. It was my mom. Waves of nervousness consumed me. I was hesitant to answer. Do I really want to know? Yes. As soon as I answered, my mom was crying. I couldn’t tell if it was joy or sorrow. My mom barely got out the words. “Your father survived.” Tears started rolling down my cheek. I told my sister, aunt, and uncle the news. We were hugging for a long time. At that moment, I felt the warmth and love of my family.
