I have a bad habit of not checking my voice mail. I rarely
get calls on my work phone and I’m terrible about noticing that I have a
message waiting. Today when I got back from lunch, I saw my message light
blinking. I was expecting a call from the field so I checked my messages. The
automated female voice warned me that my voice mailbox was almost full and
suggested I delete old messages. As I scrolled through the messages one stood
out….
“Honey, this is your Momma. I was just going to check in with you and
chat a minute…. I’ll talk to you later... Bye bye.”
It used to irritate me that she would identify herself, like I didn't recognize her voice. Now it just irritates me that it irritated me. I’ll
never be able to return that phone call, I can't go back. One thing is certain, I'll never delete that sweet voice from my mailbox, regardless of how full it becomes.
