Ring tone
Tough, unexpected moment this morning. I work from home on Fridays and I had some music playing on Grooveshark on the laptop. From the other room I could hear Michael Jackson's Don't Stop Til You Get Enough start. That was the ring tone on my phone for Dina. For a split second I let myself think she was calling. Then reality set in. I haven't heard that ring tone in a long time. She had a trachea tube in for all but a few days the entire 4 months she was in the hospital so it was obviously extremely difficult for her to talk (she could only do so when a special valve was attached to the trachea tube) let alone make a phone call. And now I'm reminded that I won't hear that ring tone letting me know she's calling ever again. I had a good cry over that one.
