I'm getting worried. My best friend Dottie left for Michigan 16 days ago and I haven't heard from her in nine days. She wan't feeling well when she left, and last time I heard from her, she was still ailing. I know one of the reasons she went back to visit her hometown was to visit her mother's grave one last time. My normally optimistic friend has become melancholy lately. Doctors want to run tests on her, and she's thinking the worst.
Maybe she's kicking up her heels and having a good time. I hope so. But I am a worrier by nature, and I'm becoming concerned. She has a beloved cat she left at home with promises from her son's girlfriend to look after her pet, which is iffy. She has an elderly father who depends on her. I can't imagine her staying away so long. Why doesn't she answer her cell phone? Oh well, when she gets back she'll be annoyed I was so worried. susil
