title: On Christmas morning, my parents
---

On Christmas morning, my parents and young nephew set off from Missouri to Texas in a new (to them) van. Their route was to take them through Arkansas and Texas. Christmas day, the huge ice storm hit Arkansas and Texas, and my family vanished into it without a trace. After three days, I was a tad bit worried (though not as fazed as some when I'd casually mention that my parents were missing). But all's better. I just got an email that they'd made it safely to their destination, after having "a wild time."
