[Sweet Sunday] “Even though I’m supposed to be out of town, I will turn right around for you.”

“If you happen to go into labor on Thanksgiving, call me ASAP, don’t wait until you get too far. Even though I’m supposed to be out of town, I will turn right around for you. I already told my sister, ‘My favorite Mommy is due then, and if she goes into labor, I’m going to be there for her, you can save me a plate and I’ll come get it the next day.’ ”

Said by the midwife at the patient’s last visit.
