Through a phone call

When I see an "unknown" word on my phone when my phone rings, I get somewhat happy. A huge smile comes across on my face wondering who this person may be even though I already know the general routine of who calls at what time.

It's a amazing that when you know a person really well, you can tell whether the person is happy or sad through their first "hello", without even them saying another word - through a phone call.
I got a phone call today from an "unknown" caller. After the first "hello", I heard silence. A long pause of silence. Then sniffles. Huffing and puffing and more sniffles. It hurts me to hear someone who is most important to me in my life, who means the world to me, who I treasure and love the most cry to me on the phone. It doesn't happen often, so when it does, I know it MUST be something serious. My heart ached. And there was nothing I could do besides hold the phone and make sure it was known that I was listening and I was there. I tried to be reassuring, as reassuring as I can be. I know what is needed. A great big hug! A great big kiss!

How I wish I can be back to give you just that.
