Waiting is hard

It’s now more than 12 hours since Hari phoned to say that she was in labour, and still no news. It looks like the hospital was right to tell her that it may take 12 hours. I haven’t heard from Erica since mid-afternoon and I am beginning to imagine awful things. But good things could be happening, or nothing at all. Erica’s mobile is off, so I assume she and Doug are still in the hospital.

I am struggling to be detached, but I can’t settle to any sensible task. I could watch The Importance of Being Earnest but I feel I should focus on Hari and pray for the safe delivery of her baby.

I just hate being separated from those I love at a time like this, but I just have to be patient.
