the phone call
.
It's 10:00 pm central time. I look through my email for the number. It's late, but I have to call. It rings, a few times, I should hang up. The answering machine comes on. "Hi, it's Kimmy" a voice answers, "Hello?" (he has no idea who is on the phone) "Is 'J' there?" "Who's calling?" "Kimmy" Who? Kimmy I reply. Hold on. They answer, Hello dahlin, this is the first time I actually hear the caring, sweet voice I have been reading. Just like I had imagined it.
He is the first cyber person that hears the news. She passed. I'm smiling, radiating, happy to share the news with someone who feels closer to me than my real friends, every little wicked bone in his body.
Smiles were shared, laughs were heard and plans were made. Can't wait for some more vacation, I will see the Arch.
