This weekend, my mum was supposed to come visit us for a about a week. However, she called me yesterday telling me that she didn't make it to the airport because she suffered a small fracture before she left for the airport (she suffered the accident very early in the morning).
Why my mother's accident made up upset? First, she called to tell me about her accident around 1pm CST (her flight was scheduled to arrive in Austin at 3pm). Second, she got her ticket using some of my uncle's (her oldest brother) frequent flyer miles. She also "forgot" to tell her brother about the accident right when it happened, and told him late in the afternoon when he called her to ask her about "how's the city of Austin?". Last but not least: she had that accident because...she was fooling around her house all "excited" about the trip and because she was wearing heels, she tripped and thus suffered that small fracture.
My mother is now stuck in her house with a small cast mourning the loss of her trip to see us. However, I have a hard time feeling sorry for her accident because I just can't seem to understand why was she fooling around her house in HEELS right before a goddamn trip?! Second, she wasted those miles...and didn't even belong to her! Third: she didn't had the decency of telling me nor her brother of her accident until it was too late to do something about the trip.
I wish my mum a quick recovery, but I still don't feel sorry for her injury.
