Mostly it was because she'd seen "international call" on her phone and thought it's another one of those India-based callcenters who want to sell her something. She should know my number, but sometimes she forgets, which is perfectly legitimate at 77.<br />If I was to have an accident at home, my parents and/or my sister and/or RJ would all be there after a day or two to make sure I'm alright.Librarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05704656564078750607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-12164580666243816782012-01-15T21:28:21.442+13:002012-01-15T21:28:21.442+13:00This a very touching thank you post!

But you are right, one does occasionally think about it! Even if no special reason just now to fear that the sky might come tumbling down on my head any minute... So far, I guess I've been kind of lucky even those times when I've been unlucky - so to say.DawnTreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04533307672147117843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-495553397518653924.post-73667804547776310822012-01-15T10:38:51.115+13:002012-01-15T10:38:51.115+13:00Thank you for your phone call today.

I am so grateful to all my family and friends and neighbors for their concern. <br /><br />I also worry about a friend who lives alone in an apartment in San Francisco, about 1,200 miles away. She's had quite a few weird and wonderful health scares the past few years, and every time I phone, I hold my breath until I hear her say "hello." <br /><br />I hope all is well with you, GB, and that if you are having any difficulties, they are small, and easily corrected.<br /><br />Take care and God bless.Canadian Chickadeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12995693884248628958noreply@blogger.com
