I had not heard from Helen for several months. I had sent an email during our move-no response. Helen is my friend whose husband has early onset Alzheimer's disease. They are both in their fifties...professionals, nurses, athletic, a 12 year old adopted daughter. Their situation defines "tragedy." Yesterday Helen called. It was fairly early in the morning. I cannot tell you what a relief, what joy it was to hear her voice. No miracle has occurred. Their lives are still incredibly stressful. But to hear her voice, to be reassured they are not drowning gave me a bit of peace.
Is there someone who would love to hear from you today? Would a call from you give them some peace? Making that is call is your gift to them.
Blessings-Penny
