“Hi, it’s your sister. I have some sad news to share. Daisy has passed away. I know you loved her too, and it’s tough losing a companion. Whenever you get the chance, do visit us. Take care, bye.”
“Hello, this is Randa. Just a reminder about your appointment on April 16th at 3:30 P.M. Your progress is essential, and I hope to see you there. Take care of yourself.”
“Hi, it’s Mom. It’s been a while since we last spoke. Please try to call more often. Oh, and we buried Daisy in the backyard. Your sister said you were planning to visit soon. We miss you dearly. Remember, I love you.”
“Good morning, Miss Lama. We noticed you missed your doctor’s appointment on April 12th. If you’d like to reschedule, please call us at 438-567-8890. Thank you.”
“Hi, it’s Randa. You missed your therapy appointment on April 16th. Remember, facing your feelings and thoughts is part of the healing process. Let’s reschedule for April 24th; I’m looking forward to seeing you there.”
“Hey Lama, it’s your sister. Mom is upset that you couldn’t visit during Spring break. I don’t understand what has gotten into you lately. I wish I could afford a ticket to visit, but the divorce has been tough. Take care.”
“Hello? Why aren’t you picking up? This is Mom. We’re all concerned about your absence. Your sister’s divorce was finalized yesterday. Call her, she would appreciate your support. We also adopted a new dog! Please, let us know you’re okay.”
“Hi, it’s your sister. I’m hurt you didn’t show up during my divorce. Going through it alone was tough. Please call me; I want to talk. We’re family, and I need you.”
“Good afternoon, Miss Lama. We regret to inform you that you’ve missed too many classes this semester. Please visit your teacher’s office to discuss your next steps. Best regards.”
“Oh, hi Lama, this is your dad. Your sister’s divorce was tough, but she met someone new and seems happy. Mom hasn’t been well, and your presence would mean a lot to her. Consider taking a break and flying over. We miss you.”
“Hey, I’m getting worried. Why haven’t you been showing up to classes? Please respond to my texts or call me back. Let’s talk about it.”
“Hi, this is Randa. You’ve missed several appointments already, and we can’t reach you. I might need to call 911 if you don’t respond soon. Please let us know you’re alright.”
“Hi Lama, it’s your sister again. I apologize for my previous voicemail; emotions got the best of me. I know you’re busy, but please answer our calls. I met someone special and wanted you to meet him too. Life has its ups and downs, but we’ll get through it together. We love you.”
“Um . . . hello, Lama, this is your dad. Uh…your mother passed away last night. We needed you, and you haven’t called. . . We hope you’ll come for her funeral next week. Please take care.”

“Hi, it’s Tyler! Leave me a message and I’ll call you later.”
I completely agree with you! This degree has introduced me to a world of history and culture. Thank you for…
I hear your conundrum; I too suffer from a ‘title’ that doesn’t pay the mortgage…Beowulf, Dante’s Inferno, Canterbury Tales are…
Welcome
Thank you!
Good stuff.
