Where is Joe?

I have thought about wandering but so far Joe has shown no signs of it.   It’s in the back of my mind as a possibility.  

Henry had arranged with Joe he would pick him up this afternoon and take him to his house for dinner and a movie after Joe got back from his program.  At 4:30 pm I was in a coworkers office talking with her and the Pastor.    A text comes from Henry “Did Joe have an appointment after his program?”  

Immediately heart pumps faster and I can feel my blood pressure going up.   No.  Joe is coming home and going with you.   I mean obviously.   Why worry?   Too late.   I look at the cameras at home.   No one is there.   I track Joe's phone to a few miles from the house but on the other side of a major state road.   Yup heart beating even faster.   Henry and I typing back and forth.   Amazing co-worker and Pastor asking what is happening as I totally lose track of the conversation.    Henry is know going to my house to look for Joe.  

Look back to phone tracker and Joe's phone is rapidly getting closer to the house.   So, Joe is still not a wanderer.   Instead there is a new van driver who doesn’t know the route and had multiple wheelchair stops.   Henry meets the van in the driveway to let me know.    

Yes it took a while to let my heart rate and BP settle.    Yes as I type this I notice my teeth are still clenched.  

For today, all is well.
