They all sit, huddled around the small waiting room, waiting for news. In one room, their grandmother is fighting for her life after a fall and a broken hip. In another, their daughter is in labor with their first grandchild. The timing couldn’t be more perfect, or more imperfect.
Both are in surgery now. A hip replacement and an emergency C-section.
The whole family is stone silent, waiting for any kind of news, except for grandpa, at the window, his lips moving in silent prayer.
Someone is making their departure tonight. Who do you save?
