I Like Being Checked Up On

Another “guest post” by my wife, Faye Richardson Mayberry:

Got a phone call last night from a nephew, Ashton’s cousin, who was calling to check up on us. I told him, “I like being checked up on”. That guy is in the middle of his medical residency. He has a sweet wife and young family of 3 children with one on the way. While we were talking, one of his children would scream periodically in the background… happy scream!  He never flinched…never shushed the child…just kept checking up on me.  I just smiled… I’ve been there with children on the phone. He’s so patient. They had just returned from a vacation. He’s a busy guy… yet he took the time to give us a call.  A telephone call. He wanted to talk. He really wanted to know. Altogether, we talked about 20 minutes.

How did I feel after we hung up? How did I feel after being checked up on?

LOVED!!!

Thanks for checking up on us Phil… love you too.
