I keep getting these celebratory texts from these numbers I dont know since my birthday. I ... think they may be from people at work or my internship but ... I dont know how they got my number and Id feel bad if I text back and say ... who is this?!

Send their numbers to me... I'll get to the bottom of all of this...

When the doctor suggested surgery
and a brace for all my youngest years,
my parents scrambled to take me
to massage therapy, deep tissue work,
osteopathy, and soon my crooked spine
unspooled a bit, I could breathe again,
and move more in a body unclouded
by pain. My mom would tell me to sing
songs to her the whole forty-five minute
drive to Middle Two Rock Road and forty-
five minutes back from physical therapy.
She’d say, even my voice sounded unfettered
by my spine afterward. So I sang and sang,
because I thought she liked it. I never
asked her what she gave up to drive me,
or how her day was before this chore. Today,
at her age, I was driving myself home from yet
another spine appointment, singing along
to some maudlin but solid song on the radio,
and I saw a mom take her raincoat off
and give it to her young daughter when
a storm took over the afternoon. My god,
I thought, my whole life I’ve been under her
raincoat thinking it was somehow a marvel
that I never got wet.

You can't google the numbers?  I've been doing it to tell if the call/text is someone I know.  Usually I can piece together who it is from the results without clicking any of the sites that come up.  Use quote marks - "(###) ###-####"

I usually do it for calls I don't know. We actually have a site at work that traces addresses and phone numbers I just never think about it when Im at work. I thought I knew everyone Ive given my number to ... but clearly I dont
