But of course there's always time to drive friends to hospital: did that a few days ago one night when we scrambled to the car to get her there. I felt like how my dad probably felt when he drove me to the hospital when I was in dire need of help... panicky beneath a controlled logical calm. The knowing you should rush but at the same time control your adrenaline and not be rash and beat the red lights. Growing up really fast, even if it was just for a night.
