I found this sheet of paper a few weeks ago, as I was cleaning out some things. It was from early December, and at that time I was sick with covid and staying home and recuperating, so I wrote down some of the topics we were in touch about during that time so I wouldn't forget when I responded back to her message. It brought me back to that time, but more importantly, it showed me how much I treasure and value my dear sister's voice messages.
You see, when you have a soul sister, you are always in touch. And what you have to say and share matters. But it matters so much that you are anticipating and looking forward to hearing from them.
When she was camping with her family, I thought of her and was also missing our voice messages- as she had no reception. I realized how treasured a gift it is to be in touch, but also that we are in touch frequently! We are sharing, expressing, articulating through our words what text messages can't merely seem to do.
However, voice messages don't break apart the necessary quality of in person time and being face to face, but it helps. And I know without her voice messages, I miss them, our connection and being in tune with each other's lives. I am grateful and blessed.
