I have one in South America and one in Kenya. My ‘baby’ who sometimes seems more mature than I am, tells me, ” Mom ,you should be so thankful for email and Skype. Missionaries weren’t able to keep in touch with their families regularly in the past.” We are indeed blessed with the technology we have these days.

My dear husband is very stoic about such things, but I know that it is definitely affecting him, too. My son informs me that I may be weepy for 20 minutes, and then I may have “celebratory remodelling” of his bedroom.
