Bruce was just getting home from work as Janet hung up the phone and she lost no time making him aware of the problem with her mother.
"I'm just so worried, Bruce.-Mama was out of my life for so many years after we ran off and got married and she couldn't forgive me for loving you.-Now that she has accepted us and everything is good between us again, now she has a heart attack."-Janet just couldn't keep a few tears from dripping down her cheeks.
Bruce understood.-He had come to love Lydia, too, and he hated to know she wasn't well.-"Maybe, we should go back to Kentucky and be with her until she's feeling better.-What do you think, Hon?-I could take a leave of absence from work.-Things are a little slow right now, anyway.-Sean and Marcie would be glad, I think, to keep an eye on Kathleen for us and see that her needs are taken care of.-Shall we do it?"
"Oh, yes, Dear.-That would be just wonderful!-You are so understanding and sweet.-No wonder I fell in love with you nearly a quarter of a century ago."
They began immediately making preparations and arrangements.-The other family members were very upset about Lydia's illness and they supported completely Bruce and Janet's decision to go and be with her.
