I Waited 4 Hours for My 6 Children to Arrive for My 60th, but the House Stayed Quiet – Until a Police Officer Handed Me a Note That Froze My Heart

“Where is Grant?”

Eliza’s eyes filled. “We thought…”

Sarah snapped, “Why is there a cop with you? What happened?”

I looked from face to face.

“I sat alone at that table,” I said. “Like an idiot.”

Mark’s face crumpled. “Mom, we were trying to keep it a surprise. Grant said he was handling the pickup part.”

I felt my heartbeat speeding up again.

I turned back to the officer, voice rising again.

“Where is Grant?” I asked.

“He’s not here yet.”

Jason frowned. “He said he’d be here by seven. He was supposed to get you.”

Sarah whipped her head toward Mark. “He’s late.”

Mark checked his phone, jaw tight. “He’s not answering.”

I turned back to the officer, voice rising again. “You gave me a note from my son. You drove me here. Where is he?”
