Lost in Translation

Published by cmadams

I am now a Mother that no one wants to be. I love my children more than life itself and my world got turned upside down when my 1st born son Billy, also known as Liam, was murdered by a stranger in a random act of violence. I have 3 remaining living, breathing, amazing children, 2 sons and 1 daughter, 3 living,breathing,amazing step-sons and each and every one is special,creative,and unique! I also have 3 beautiful grandchildren! 2 Grandsons ages 7and 8 and a precious 3 year old Granddaughter! My Grandson Logan, is Billy’s only child, he is now 8 years old. As my daughter says, he is the warm piece of Billy that we get to touch. I enjoy cherishing and taking care of my husband and my family, leading a healthy lifestyle in spirit, soul and body, clean eating, CrossFit, sunshine,rest, listening to music and singing along! I will never be who I was before this happened. I am dedicated to learn what I can, embrace the pain, and share my raw, wounded, healing heart that is daily changing due to this great tragedy. My hope is touch lives in many ways,no matter how big or small, in honor and in memory of my son, Billy.He will live on through my words, the words of his Mother and the hearts of his family💗 View all posts by cmadams

Do you ever feel like your typed or texted words to someone get lost in translation?

I try to be so detailed so I’m not misunderstood, and I end up texting a chapter to someone!

I think people end up skimming long emails, texts, blogs and especially the fine print.

I know I’m guilty of doing that!

It is very easy these days for our words and their meaning to get lost in translation.

We have to text someone 1st to make sure it’s okay to call them on the phone unless you’re related, then it’s okay to just call without the courtesy text!

We’ve basically stopped leaving voice mails unless it’s work related, or maybe we are desperate to reach someone who hasn’t returned our text message, so we call and hang up 5 times before actually leaving a voicemail.

If their voice mail box is even turned on….

That is the one thing that I do not have from Billy, a saved voicemail.

When he called me, I answered. We texted a lot, so I have quite a few texts from him because I’m that person who does not delete my text messages. Especially the important ones…

I will never hear Billy’s voice again this side of Heaven. I will never forget the way his voice sounded when he called me Mom or his laughter when we would joke around, but it is in my head and in my heart.

If your voice mail box is not set up, set one up. You’re Mom would probably like to leave you a message.

Rather than text your Mom, call her. I am sure that she would love to hear your voice.

If you know that she turns her phone off at night, purposely call and leave her a message after the beep.
