I just had a major heart stopping shock. [View all]

I was on the phone with my grandson (he's stationed at Norfolk Naval Base).

We talked a little about being lucky that the hurricane missed the coast.

We were talking about how pleased he was to be able to vote for Bernie in the Texas Primaries. He'll be out of the Navy in January.

In the middle of our conversation he said "Grandma, why won't you open the door". I thought I misheard him so I kept on talking about Bernie. He said it again.

I got up and went to the front door and there he was. I almost passed out.

It seems the Navy was going to evacuate and told anyone with leave coming to take it. Well the hurricane turned, Norfolk didn't evacuate, but my grandson was half way to Texas.

A heart stopper for sure, but one I'll take any day.
