I am visiting with Love when I am given the responsibility of taking two 10-12 year old girls to the mall to shop. Love and another friend of hers are going to meet me at a local school. The girls and I go to the mall but I lose them or they lose me. Either way, I am frantic. I can’t find my cellphone and there is no way for me to call anyone. Eventually, I find someone who will let me use their phone. I call Steven (Kanika’s husband) but he is busy or doesn’t want to talk and just hangs up on me. I become frantic worrying about the girls. I finally get in touch with Love who casually says that the girls are fine, there is nothing to worry about, that the girls made it back to the school. I am frustrated that I was so frightened and everything was fine but then I remember that I didn’t have a phone so nobody could call to tell me that there was nothing to worry about. Still, it is upsetting to me that I went through this and I don’t know if I am angry with myself or Love or the girls. I just know I have all of these feelings and I don’t know which way to turn.
