I wake up with the sunrise.

I had failed to close the curtains; and the sun is quickly making its debute.

I unpack the rest of my suitcases. I choose what I will wear today, then shower before dressing.

I call home again, but no answer. I had left a message each time for my wife, Doreen, and our precious Amanda, telling each of them how much I love them. I can't understand why they haven't called back. It would be just as easy for them to leave a message.
