I talked with Mom briefly yesterday. She told me she hasn’t been feeling well lately because of some new medicines she’s taking.
In fact, she was rather worried and tried to explain to Dad how she was feeling and asked him in the case of an emergency, would he know what to do.
Mom gave him the scenario [...]
