A few weeks ago a friend of ours daughter started college. The first week she posts that she is in a relationship the next week she changed her facebook photo to one of her with her new love interest.
It all brought back the September phone calls.
The first was David's freshman year at college. The call came to inform us that he was now official engaged. Not to worry they were not planning on getting married right away, they would wait until June. I know when you are young and in love 9 months is not anytime soon.
The second call was during David's senior year to announce that we were going to be Grandparents. We were able to go down when the Baby was born and a few days later attend Ellie's parents graduation. What timing.
The third September phone call was from Angie during her Junior year of college to inform us she had totaled the car. Fortunately she and the others in the car were fine, but it does make your heart stop. Then Tiny went down the next day to check her out and the car the next day it was clear God had saved them.
So during the month of September when the phone rings we may hesitate a little when answering, as September brings surprises via the phone line.
