wrong_number
raze marguerite called and left a message asking to speak to heather.

i don't know anyone named marguerite. or heather.

she called again the next day. she left a longer message. said she wanted to ask heather some questions about arranging for her mother to receive home care. she left two numbers. her home phone and her cell.

she sounded like someone with a good heart.

two minutes later, she called back and left another message.

"i realize now i've been calling the wrong number," she said. "i thought i had ccac."

the community care access center is six minutes from my house. their phone number only shares two digits with mine. i don't know how she drifted that far off the map without knowing it.

"please disregard my messages," she said. "and please delete my numbers if you can."

my phone will take care of that in a few weeks. what i can't erase is the memory of her voice.

i'll die still wondering who she was.
