I can’t remember how long it’s been since we’ve received so many calls from family members in one day. The day isn’t even over yet! Two of my brothers have called, Chris’ cousin’s husband, his aunt and my cousin have all called.
Luckily no one’s sick or anything. They were all just calling either to say hello or update us with some news.
My brother that was visiting from Vancouver a few weeks ago, and has been traveling all over the world since that time called to say hi and to let us know that they booked an Orlando vacation rental for October. He wanted to know if we’d like to join them while they are there. So nice. Maybe we will.
My other brother that lives just outside of Toronto called to let me know that my nephew who just graduated from the Ontario College of Art is having an art show this weekend. He’s an excellent photographer and I’m definitely going to see his work because he normally doesn’t show his work to anyone! Not even his parents! Apparently he’s so good that he won two or three awards upon graduation, and his photos are being published in book with a very select few top well known photographers. He’s gotta be good!
My cousin and Chris’ cousin both just want to get together with us since it’s been a while and Chris’ aunt was calling because it’s Chris’ birthday on Sunday.
I’ll bet that we hear from Chris’ parents or his brother from Chicago this evening too since his brother is supposed to be coming North today or sometime this weekend. I’ve forgotten the dates since they’ve changed two or three times already.
I might have to leave the phone unplugged to get any work done around here!
And then sometimes the phone doesn’t ring AT ALL and you pick it up to see if you have a dial tone! But I’ve learned to try to be happy even when the flood of calls occurs, at least someone cares enough to reach out!
