simpLy m.e.

where did I stop? hmm let me see – I guess just at the point when every one was about to leave – when the gathering had come to an end.

so sweet, from my husband : <http://aku.sukamac.com/?p=28>

the phone rang, I got up and there it was – my husband called to ’send’ the good-night kiss.

Thanks to technology, skype, gmail chat, ym, etc – despite the fact that we are miles apart we have a very good communication – perhaps we talk more to each other than we were when I was around.

He does the same thing every night – says “muahsss” several times, tells me “I miss you ten, twenty, hundred, three hundred, ten hundred, etc.” oh what a cute smart boy I have.
