Today, as I was getting up from my nap, the phone rang.
I´m a little bit tired with phone calls but as soon as I heard the voice on the other side, I thought that this was a miracle.
I had a friend for several years. This one was not my friend from the start, but a dear friend gave her to me as a sort of legacy.
After maybe 3 or four years, she stopped calling or answering the phone, I tried and tried and nothing happened.
I thought that maybe she had died (she had had a well treted cancer) or that she had left the coutry (her daughters lived abroad). But I could not know so I stopped calling.
And now, out of nowhere, she called me! I recognised her voice and she told me that she had been ill. She was now with one of her daughters who had come to visit her and I told her that, as soon as she was alone, she would have to come here to talk.
I told her that her call had been a Christmas present and that´s how I feel.

Out of the blue calls can truly make one;s day. I had one from one of my classmates this Christmas - in years.
