My favorite Aunt and engagement...

So Skype is absolutely amazing and whomever invented it, I would love to thank personally! We've had many Skype sessions and plan to have many more. It's so fun to see our families faces and expressions- just wish we could touch and hug them! It does bring a pang of sadness, however. We see that life goes on, on the other side of the world and we so desperately want to be apart of it.
I spoke to my mom today and she had a not-so-fabulous day. She, like me, internalizes, digests, stresses and obsesses about pretty much everything (love you, mom and cheers to genes). We are just loving, caring people and wouldn't have it any other way. Her sister is having a hard time and not feeling well. Seeing those you love in pain is debilitating. And seeing my mom in pain debilitated me.
My Aunt is amazing! She has a big heart with the best smile and laugh. Whenever us cousins (her nieces and nephews) were/are around she always give us a big kiss and say "who's your favorite Aunt?". There is more than one Aunt and it always makes us smile! She is also an inspiration of mine because she is a nurse and traveled to Ghana with Doctors without Boarders. Her stories always amazed me as none of our family members ever traveled much.
It's news like this and news of one of my best friend's recent engagement that Skype can't close the gap on! I am working on Quantum Leap but my Internet is too slow here and I think I can only get us to a street in Timika. :)
I feel bad as my Aunt wanted to see our story here and will email her my blog as soon as I am done.
As always to be continued...
Love you, Di Di and Ti Ti!
