-Jeri Sires
Two minutes isn't very long. You can't do much in two minutes. Not much can happen in two minutes. Not much can be accomplished in two minutes. Or can it?
Yesterday I accomplished a lot in just a few two minutes. I took the trash outside in just two minutes. I responded to an email message in just two minutes. I started a load of laundry in just two minutes. I made an important phone call in just two minutes.
You see, you can do a lot in just two minutes.
Yesterday, in two minutes, both of my sons swallowed half of a bottle of pretty pills they found. Yesterday, in two minutes, my niece fell into a swimming pool. In two minutes.
My husband said, "weren't you watching the children?"
"Yes," I cried, "I only turned my back for two minutes!"
Two minutes.
My boys are fine. My niece is lying in a hospital bed in a coma.
Two minutes turned into 4 hours of vomiting and a life hanging in the balance.
Two minutes.
