Everything Happens for a Reason

So, today we're having a storm, rain coming down pretty good and for a bit. I try to call my friend in CA who loves the rain like I do so I can share this storm with her.

Somehow while in the car with the rain coming down so hard, I dial Robbie instead of Sharan....The message says mailbox full and I panic.

You see, I'm a single person living alone and know that unless I keep in touch with those in my life everyday, something could go wrong and no one would know for a long time. There is nobody at home waiting for me, so there is nobody to know that I didn't come home.

Kai told me almost two weeks ago that you didn't return her birthday call to you, I felt a bit better that you didn't return mine....OK, he must be enjoying a weekend away for his birthday, good for him, I hope he's having a good time. I can't wait to hear about it.

But today I sort of panic...has anyone heard from Robbie in two weeks? Why is his mailbox full? I called Kai to ask if she's heard from her brother lately. She tells me he has a new phone for work, I think, "doesn't he still check his old VM?" "Is someone stalking him so that he doesn't WANT to check his VM?" I wonder if his new relationship has some how gone bad...I hope not.

So I called the new number given to me and left a message. My cell phone rang at 9:40pm tonight and I rushed to get it in time, perhaps it's Robbie, who else would be calling at this time? I didn't hear from him tonight and decided I NEED to know what's going on and send him an email message....I only hope this mailbox isn't full and he has time to drop a note and just let me know everything is fine and he's just been busy.Happy Birthday and congrats on the new job! I hope it's going well and that you are doing fine.
