Unexpected phone calls

My brother Chris is in Korea with the Air Force. Usually I can keep pretty good tabs on him through Facebook. And he's usually pretty good at checking in with my mom so I get updates from her. But recently I haven't seen Chris on Facebook and my mom can't talk so he hasn't called her. This morning I left him a message and told him I hadn't heard from him in a while and asked how he was doing. A couple hours later my phone rang. It was Chris! Instead of sending me a message back, he decided just to call. I sure love him! And I loved talking to him! I'm excited for him to come home - in about a month!
