That was soooo weird! really!...I mean, he NEVER calls (we call, but he doesn't)...hmmmm, maybe it's because of the earthquakes, cyclones, erupting volcanos and other natural disasters??? ...

I was drying Ale's hair and didn't even hear the phone...sis got it...she then told me it was for me, but she didn't understand who it was or what they wanted...she handed me the phone and, being a Sunday morning and, having called all my "callable" contacts already for the day, I thought: Oh, no, it's the credit company reminding me that I have a payment due on Monday (which I had done on Saturday, but with check, and if paid with check it never shows up in their system the next day!)...so I say: Yes, hello...and he says: hello, what's up!...and I'm like: hmmm, I KNOW this voice, but, honestly, I couldn't place it!!!  ... so I just asked a couple generic questions and then it hit me!!  ...so I said: Oh, miracles DO happen!...anyway, he spoke with Ale (just chit-chat from what I could tell)... my poor baby, her eyes watered! 

So, I guess now we go back to waiting another couple of years for the next contact (hmmmm, see, I KNEW he's from outer space!) 

I agree, that seems so hard for Ale.    And you, too.

I'm not really sure how she's taking it...
about 3 weeks ago (before the call) she started telling me: Mom, YOU are my favorite parent, YOU! - which would be endearing if I didn't worry that she's hurting when she says that! 

Holy Cr@p!!!  I so admire you for giving Ale a stable and loving environment!!! Keep up the great work!!!

I'm glad she was happy after they talked to each other.
