H left a voice mail this morning to tell me that he'd heard from the school where we are trying to enrol a refugee girl who we sponser that they'd accepted her. It was good news and it was a nice message.

I was busy all morning and didn't call him back until lunch time. His phone went to voice mail and I left a chatty message - happy about the school and letting him know sister-in-law had called last night to tell me brother arriving thursday.

Now this is the amazing thing - he called back immediately. Normally he wouldn't have called back until the end of the day or tomorrow, but he rang within minutes of me leaving the message.

We chatted, it was good. I was bubbly, he sounded a bit flat (does that happen to anyone else? - when I'm up he's down, when he's up - I feel upset??) I signed off first. It's not much, but it's a baby step.
