Face Time

At the end of last week, I had suddenly received an email from my sister's iphone, that my little niece Katy sent. "Thought you might want to see my face. Email me back on my email. Love you! Katy."

I emailed her back (on her email) "You're right honey. I did want to see your face!"

I am actually going to have real face time with my nieces next weekend, over 4th of July, for a couple days at the beach with everyone before continuing on their journey up to Maine and Nova Scotia.

Last year I had returned to California for 4th of July weekend, after two weeks in New York. It was that weekend when I was back in lovely California, after about 10 solid days of rain in New York, sleeping in Carly's trundle bed, being a bit over-extended, over-tired and unsettled, when I gave into that gnawing feeling inside that I really wanted to move back to New York, ultimately for more 'face time'.

What a difference a year makes.

Katy sent me a reply yesterday, "Can you send me a picture of your face?"

Sometimes, love needs no words.
