So, today is my oldest son's 40th birthday. Yikes! how did I get old enough to have a son who is 40... The feelings about that will have to wait until another post. As mentioned in my post a couple of days ago, we haven't spoken in a couple of years, and haven't seen each other longer than that. Still I send cards... today I decided to try calling the last number I had for them. After three rings, Rick said, "Hello." I was more than a little surprised, but I said "Hi, Rick. It's your Mom." "Hi, Mom." I wished him a Happy Birthday. Asked how he was doing (Fine). Then I didn't know what to say. It was awkward. I even told him I didn't know what to say. So, he asked how my husband and family were doing. Good - they're getting older too. Then he said, "Today is Ty's birthday, too. He's 4." I said, "I sent him a card. I thought it was his birthday, but I didn't know how old he was." So, he's 4... we chatted just a few more minutes then I was starting to cry, so I said good-bye. Awkward, yes. But so nice to hear his voice. I told him I loved him. He said, "I love you, too."
