Yeah, I didn't return the call yesterday. She called while we were at church this morning. She asked whether the kids asked for her. They didn't and that's the truth. I suppose they're so used to their mom not being around. She said she was sad. I said maybe they think she just went to work or something (she used to work graveyard shift). I probably shouldn't have told her that and make her wallow in guilt.
An interesting development came in the afternoon. After church I took the kids to watch "Horton Hears a Who." I got a call from my wife while in the theater but I didn't answer it. After the movie, I listened to her message but it was from a female who found her phone. I called the phone. The lady says she called me, her husband, to let me know that she has my wife's phone. She found it along a trail (my wife, the OM and their party went to a popular destination with hiking trails). She says she called a number from the address book and the person told her to call me, her husband. I told her I wasn't with her. She says she was going to just leave the phone at the visitor's center. I said okay and hung up.
I called back after a few minutes. The lady stranger still had the phone. I told her to look up the OM's name and call him because she's with him. I could not believe I had to do that!
