Something about…Safty
posted in life |I got a call the other day from my TiTi. I wasnt there to hear the call….but I got the voice mail, which rocks.
As I’ve said before, my TiTi isnt my Aunt (TiTi is a variation of Tia - Spanish for Aunt), she’s my father’s first wife, but she loves me like a daughter. I’ve never once doubted that. Even when I was little and would go to her house, there would be a picture of me hung up in her living room – my own mom never had that!
I wish I had audio of her voice mail’s because she’s awesome. She asks your voice mail a question and then pauses. Giving you time to answer. “Hi Mihija! I was calling to see how you are? {5 second pause} And how is Gary? {5 second pause}” That stuff is GOLD. I love it.
Its hard to be this far away from loved ones…and this summer I will be going home. Even if I have to hitch hike! However, if I weren’t this far away, I probably wouldn’t get those voice mails.
