So right now the units are out of the country. The idea of not being able to contact my mom via phone scares both me and my sisters. Strangely this did not seem too bad until we all admitted to each other that mom being so far away was something we were not looking forward to. This apparently also worried my mother, as she asked her sister to play the role of surrogate mother for the week, and to call my one sister who has mental problems worse than me on a daily basis. My aunt also called my other sister to make sure she got home ok the other day. My aunt has not called me, but I am the one person who is actually able to contact my units via phone (if they are ever actually there when I call, which I'm beginning to think is unlikely).
I guess extended family and even friends take on roles as "family members" at times. I know that while living with a past roommate for several years, we often played the role of "sister" to each other, especially when things were not going well for one or both of us. This was a big help, as each of us was not always able to contact our biological sister or sisters who were many states away.

Hey ! You never told me your units were overseas !!! Are they vacationing ? I'll call you in a bit. I did get your message from the other day ! Love, MM.
Yeah - the parents went to New Zealand (to visit the rest of the family) over spring break, leaving my brothers and I home alone.
There was minimal property damage.
