What an image! "C-cup-sized ice cream scoops." I'll never look at ice cream the same.
I'd comment on that, too, but I gotta run to Baskin-Robbins quick...
It must be hard to feel like you've missed out. Do you know what, though? I think some people miss out on even more really important things, even when they live in the same city as their loved ones. It's all in where your heart, thoughts, and prayers are. You do a great job of keeping in touch. You will definitely be a part of us in 2 years, 5 years, 50 years. Amy
Hmm... go me, for creating such a memorable image. :-)
Amy, you're right, I think. We have to be intentional about keeping in touch even if we live in the same city! It is easy to slip into complacency.
