Funny how conversations start

Katie has been wheeled off to be operated on and the rest of us was forced to sit and wait. We had heard from the doctor after an hour but we still had three more hours to go. So we sat and we sat. I kept jumping up to call those I needed to call. I was so thankful that I had my address book with me. There was small chit chat among the three of us or rather between Tammy and I. Kenny just sat there. I had planned a huge event at church that was suppose to take place the following day. I had been collecting pajamas for the children who were housed at the local shelters. These children hold a special place in my heart. I was worried about Katie, I was concerned about how we would pull this event off. I didn't know how Katie would be and I knew that I had to be present for this event. I have learned a long time ago to take the word worry out of my vocabulary. Worrying gets you nowhere. You can be concerned but being worried to the extent that it is so consuming, it doesn't get you anywhere. Again I relied on my faith. So Tammy and I discussed the pajama drive. About a month prior Tammy and Kenny had become engaged. I had not shared with any of the Agee family about my possible engagement and what I mean by that is that there hasn't been a date set for several reasons. Kenny had gotten up to go to the bathroom and I could tell that Tammy kept looking at my ring. She just kept staring. Then she finally said, "Karen, your ring is absolutely beautiful. Are you engaged?" I said, "Yes, and thank you. I also understand that congratulations are in order for you as well." That statement opened a whole new can of worms. Now she had the opportunity to talk about her upcoming wedding. I have also learned when to keep my mouth shut and to listen and that is what I did for the next hour. Kenny came back and he sat there listening to Tammy talk about their wedding. It was the most bazzar thing I have ever experienced. I am going to stop here because I am still amazed at the conversations. So just sit and wait, like I had to sit and wait for Katie. More tomorrow.
