Call Me

by | Sep 17, 2014 | Day by Day, Uncategorized | 25 comments

Tonight’s theme song brought to you by Blondie:

So guess who called me today? Or maybe I should rephrase that. Guess who I spoke with on the phone?

VERNON!

I know! Can you believe it?

On Wednesdays I don’t go to Brea, so Pilar, the speech therapist called to say Vernon had been very talkative with her this morning and that he would like to talk to me on the phone. I certainly didn’t know what to expect when she put the phone to his mouth, but we almost had a conversation. I couldn’t understand much but I could HEAR him…and he did respond audibly to my questions.  It was very sweet and such a surprise after the sluggish last few days.

Especially because I did understand the “Bye. I love you.” at the end.

What a remarkable moment.

You can call me anytime, Darling.

    Allison,
    God is good and keeps answering prays for you. How great to hear his voice. Our Bible Study started on Tuesday and I put Venon and the family on the pray list. These are real pray warriors. Am glad about his wanting to talk to you.
