: Independence Day by jusylee72

My mother died on Independence day

July 4th
Several years ago

Her eulogy
was written
so beautifully by her grandson
Cody.

He talked about her gaining her independence
from her ailing body
and
moving on
to the place
we
really
don't understand.

The rest of that summer was hard
I missed her constantly.

When I got back to work
in August
We had instructions to clear our voicemail.

So I casually
started listening to messages
and deleting.

Then I heard this

"Hi Judy, It's Mom
Give me a call when you can."

and I heard her voice once more
and the tears fell
and
I wanted to call her

So I talked to her
alone in my office.

And I know
she heard me.

Call your Mom today
