"I need to talk with you as soon as possible. Please call me as SOON as you get home... I MEAN IT."

When your 78 year old Dad leaves you a phone message like that in the middle of the day, what are the chances it's a good message you're going to hear? I spent the rest of the day in near tears. When I got him on the phone I WAS crying.
