It makes me want to be more diligent about saying the things I tend to hold back. Thanks for the encouragement.

Since when have CofC preachers been gifted with ESP? ;) Since my beloved Dad's death 12 years ago this October, I've been running to phone booths. Most calls have been successful, but there is still one beloved that seems unable to be freed from the chains of anger. Please pray for us. It doesn't help that we are separated by a physical distance of over 3000 miles,most of which is the deep blue Pacific Ocean - but that's nothing like the emotional chasm that divides our lives. But I keep trying and keep praying. Mike!! Since when have CofC preachers been gifted with ESP? ;)

He did a couple of things that really crushed my feelings. During the last episode, I actually went for 9 months without any contact with him. His birthday came around and I called him. We had a pleasant conversation and I was able to release a lot of the hurt I had been experiencing. Two weeks later, he passed away. I keep thinking, "What if I hadn't called him?" But I thank God for gently nudging me to do so. Now, history is repeating itself. I KNOW I need to make that call. Life is too short to allow bitterness to triumph over love.

Do they exist anymore? Millions of your younger readers may not even know what a phone booth is. Having said that, YES.....I would be on my cell phone and 5 minutes would not be enough. Thanks for reminding us to say "I love you" everyday. I love you, DWU Probably a cell phone……..but for sure not a phone booth. Do they exist anymore?

I've found that to be true since my father's death 13 years ago. However, the reminder is always good. We need to be more forthcoming with our affection and love for each other. Good reminder!

I mean, I'd probably be making them anyway, but there isn't anyone I need to say "I love you" to that I haven't. I hadn't really thought about that before and it gives me a lot of comfort. I hope that doesn't seem arrogant. It wouldn't have always been so. I'm glad it is now. Thanks for this. I really don’t.
