The phone rang just as I was headed to bed last night, and it was COUSIN GERALD, whom I had never actually spoken to….
Hello..
Is this Allegra?
Yes, who’m I talking to?
This is Braden’s Grandfather!
GERALD!!!!! I squealed, after the shoe dropped…
He’s in town for a conference, and man, it was great to hear his voice. He’s not here long enough for us to get together, pout, but it was quite a boost for my spirits.
