Needed to be updated.
As my daughter was deleting them, she
Discovered one that must have been at
Least 10 years old.
For some reason, my phone had
Recorded a conversation between my
Jack and his buddy Jim.
I was taken aback when I heard my
Husband discussing his day's
Activities with his friend.
I was pleased.
I was grieved.
They are both with Jesus, now, both
Freed from their dementia.
I called Jim's wife and together we
Listened to our dear ones chatting
As though they were just in the
Next room.
We had dined with the couple the night
Before, and Jack had baked a loaf of
Bread for them.
Jim raved about it.
Jack answered, "You're really giving me
The strokes."
I had to smile.
Missy copied the message for me so I
Can replay it when I need to remember the
Sound of Jack's voice and his unique
Expressions which I once took for granted.
The retrieved message is a reminder:
Ordinary day, don't let me miss the
Treasure you are.
