Sometimes the littlest things can make the biggest difference. Before Chris deployed, he called the house one evening when we he knew we would not be home and left a goodbye message on our answering machine. He left each one of us a special message and told us to keep smiling and that he would be home soon. It was so heartfelt and had helped me through so many rough days. Well, today I had a new message left on the answering machine and when I went to check it I hit the wrong button.
My heart immediately sank! I felt horrible! I stared at the answering machine as if it would come back if I stared hard enough. My security blanket was gone. I knew the message was precious but now that it's gone, I realize just how priceless it was and how many smiles it brought me.

Sorry to hear that Dottie. Hopefully Chris will leave you another one that you can listen too. I know hearing their voice is the most precious and priceless thing we have to hold on to. And just hearing it can really turn a blue day gold.
