An old friend’s voice
Few things give me more pleasure than hearing an old friend’s voice after we’ve been separated for too long.
Tonight I had a chance to talk with an old friend that I hadn’t spoken to in a while. I was ecstatic to connect with him again, since even though I had called him more than once, I hadn’t been able to leave him a message. He had called me before too, and he had left a message expressing his sympathy about my recent loss of my ex-wife to cancer, but I hadn’t been able to connect with him directly yet. Tonight we succeeded.
Though it had been only a couple of months since we had spoken, it was obvious to us both how much we enjoyed and missed talking with each other.
A lot of music is sweet, but there are few refrains sweeter than hearing an old friend say “hello” again after too long an absence.
