Now the important stuff - I got to talk to my dear daughter last night which was the most phenomenal gift I could have gotten for the whole month.  I love her so much and miss her so month and with her being in boot camp I haven't been able to talk to her for a month and being in India I haven't been able to get her letters either.  Just hearing her voice calmed my heart and mind. 

I'm so glad I didn't have more than one child, for all the beauty they bring the pain is almost unbearable sometimes loving them.  Who would have ever thought?
