Well, there 'ya go....you took care of yourselves by having a wonderful day at Sea World and then got a phone message from him on top of that.
I wonder if the phone call would have come if you hadn't planned such a special day for yourselves.
I like to think when we do things to take care of ourselves (by putting the focus on us....changing what 'we' can) we are then rewarded. Seems to be true of your situation here.
