Last night a friend came over and plugged up my old answering machine (and it is OLD. lol) to see if it was working. There were messages on there that I never got. She interpreted the messages for me. People left messages for my hearing husband (now ex) to tell me. I know that he always pressed the message button as soon as he got home from work. Then he always told me, "Those were for me." or "Nothing important."
"Tell (my name) that we appreciated her casserole! It was wonderful!"
"Tell (my name) that this is her Momma. She needs to call me when she gets home. Tell her I love her and hope she feels better!"
"Hi, this is (name)! I'm in town for the day! I would love to see you! Can we grab a coffee? My phone number is ..." (This was my best friend whom I hadn't seen in years, and my husband KNEW I would have wanted to see her.)
"HEY, (my name)! Thank you for standing up for me in the meeting! I totally appreciated your support! Gimme a call when you get home."
"I need help. I really need you to come help me. Jeff (my ex), please, please tell her to call me at (phone number)." (crying voice)
"(my name), give me a call when you can. This is (friend's name) at (phone number)."
"This is your father. Call me when you get home, (my name). Your mother needs you. Thank you, hun."
"I just wanted to call you - and let you know you're the best friend I've ever had. Thank you for being in my life. I'm so damn lucky to have you as a friend to stand by me during this shitty time of my life."
"Hi! This is ----. I just bought a new TTY! So you can call me directly. "
And from my father...he hardly ever told me he loved me. I can count the times on one hand.
"(My name). This is Dad. Thank you for the card. I love you, hun."
Messages I never got.
