Remembering the Phone Call

Erin landed safely at the airport. As usual she called the next day to let us know she was home. She caught a cold on the flight which was pretty normal for her. Our conversation was a continuation of the problems we had discussed before she left. We reaffirmed that she was on the calendar for the following July.

Erin expressed disappointment that her friend David's project was put on hold for a week. She told me about a friend she met in Turkey who was coming for a short visit. Erin was getting in touch with a dear high school friend during the week. Not feeling too great, she had considered cancelling some plans, but decided to meet with them all anyway.

We touched on the last bad date experience. At the end of our conversation Erin asked me if I thought she would ever find anyone like my husband. I said "sure you will, just don't settle for second best". On that note we said our goodbyes. I'm glad I reiterated our promise to come in July. I'm glad I told her I loved her and would talk to her soon. Soon never came..........
