I Flew Across the Country to See My Son – He Looked at His Watch and Said, ‘You Are 15 Minutes Early, Just Wait Outside!’

I laughed because I thought he had to be kidding.

“I know, honey. The Uber was fast. I couldn’t wait to see everybody.”

I could hear music.

He did not smile.

“Linda’s still setting up,” he said. “The house isn’t ready. Can you wait outside? Just fifteen minutes.”

I blinked. “Outside?”

“It’s just 15 minutes.”

I could hear music. Kids running. Somebody laughing.

I said, “Nick, I came from the airport.”

“I know. We just want it to be ready.”
