My phone is at risk of vibrating while I’m giving a massage. Normally I can cancel it because it isn’t about one of my kids. Today, though, my 6 year old got his lip stuck in his water bottle and wouldn’t allow them to help him. I was in the middle of a massage and I’m thankful my phone was close by so I could read the voicemail she was leaving. “So Kalun got his lip stuck in his water bottle.” I apologized and answered it right away. They needed me to come in. As a solo parent, I have no other choice but to be available for my family because I no longer have their dad to help. I appreciate how sweet and understanding my client was. He is doing well and is home now with a really fat lip. It stopped bleeding soon after we got home.
