February 29th

Talon's Mom here:  Our phone calls have not turned out well.  I carried the two phones with me all morning, knowing he would get to call and not knowing which number he would choose.  I took them to the laundry room, to the bathroom, next to me with the blow dryer going.  Everywhere.  The phone finally rang and I asked him how long we had.  He thought 20 minutes before boarding.  I was going to talk to him, then have him call his dad, so we could both have a turn.  I had asked and he had answered just a few questions, then he paused.

"Um.  Mom.  They are calling us for boarding.  I have to go.  I'll try again from Georgia."

I think I said OK and I love you.  It was less than 4 minutes of conversation.

We tracked his plane across the United States online.

Now I'm carrying those phones around again because he has landed and I have a two hour possible window.  I am NOT going to miss this call.  It's the last one I get from him until Mother's Day.  I hope he calls sooner, rather than later.  Or there might not be dinner.  I'm not getting into the middle of something until I get a decent visit with my son.  I hope.
