I got the phone call all parents fear. It was my son Joe on the phone. His words sent icicles into my heart. He said, “Check on Aaron, he’s been in a car crash.”
I called Aaron on his cellyphone. He answered and said he was in the Cloquet Hospital Emergency Room. I knew he was driving the '78 Monte Carlo. I also knew he was taking his finals at Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College.
I drove to Cloquet.
