Today is going to be a good day. I had just gotten out of my Lyft ride at Starbucks before church, when my phone rang. "Telmate" was flashing on the caller ID.
I pressed "1" and then I heard Andrew's voice! I was so happy.
We had a nice chat. He said time is going by quicker than he thought. He got the book I sent him:
Legends: The Best Players, Games, and Teams in Basketball by Howard Bryant. He said he likes it and is learning a lot about the history of the NBA. He said he would like some more history books, like the "Who Is..." books I sent him when he was in Inverness.
I told him I had ordered What is D-Day, He should get that this week. We had a nice talk. He said he will not be sad on Christmas. Because he is doing his time and he will have the rest of his life with his family. I was so relieved that he was not sad.
I am o.k. I've never been much for the holidays. It is just another day, in my opinion. The commercialism actually bugs me. But I know for some, especially Andrew, they are sentimental for family tradition.
After we hung up and I was sipping my coffee, I logged onto Amazon.com. I was so excited to find the book The Who Was? History of the World. I ordered it. I'm hoping he gets it before Christmas. If not, I'll at least tell him it's on it's way.
Day 17. One day at a time.
