An Urgent Need to Call Home

Cris Avelar
US

One day, driving back from work, I was almost home, stopped at a stop sign, when I felt an overwhelming wave of emotions I could not understand.

It turned into a kind of panic attack. My only focus was calling my immediate family, almost like my mind just wanted to hear their voices to calm me down.

It turned out that one of my family members had suffered a stroke and was lying unconscious on the floor, needing medical attention.
