SOL20 Day 25

My brother FaceTimed me early this morning. His boss made him get to his new job site super early to scope it out. He usually likes being the first one on the site but this morning he wasn’t too thrilled about it. He is working on a sketchy side of town in Houston and he was worried about being the only one there. He told me that lately people have been breaking into job sites and stealing their equipment. He FaceTimed me so that he had someone to talk to while he was walking the site. This isn’t exactly what I wanted to be doing at 4:30 in the morning but I know if the tables were turned he would do anything to make me feel safe.
He likes to make weird faces to make me laugh!

  2. Kind sister. This is what a family is for - to be there when needed, even when only virtually.

  3. Oh, I used to have daughter call me when she worked late on her rotations. It didn't matter what time it was. I was always happy to talk until she was safe at home.
