Phone Calls!

As the wife of a truck driver, my cell phone has become my best friend. It's that little device that keeps me in contact with my husband while we are separated. Phone calls from Steven is what breaks the loneliness for me. When my cell rings and I look down and see the words, "The Hubby" on the screen it brings a smile to my face, because I know when I hit the "accept" button, his voice will be on the other end. I know to some of you this might sound a little sappy, but it's my husbands voice that calms me and makes me feel safe. He is my best friend and the love of my life, so when he calls me from the road it makes my day so much better.

I call him every night before I go to bed as well. He has this special "Nite Nite" he says to me, and it's that special phone call "tuck in" that helps me sleep better. Without that special nighttime call I tend to be restless and unable to sleep. So, that's why the phone calls are important to me. If I was unable to communicate with him while he was on the road I think it would drive me crazy until he was safely back home!
