Mike is in the Far East, Tony and David are visiting a friend in Alaska and I am in Charlotte. This is a peek into our future. We are texting, calling about the "important stuff" and emailing. Three years ago one was away at college, two were at home and our family still seemed to be grounded. Now with everyone scattered this week I feel the urge to keep in touch more than ever.
So what used to be the gathering around the table for dinner has become short snippets of text messages, emails and of course there will always be that occasional "panic" phone call when someone forgot to do this or that. What is important is that we keep in touch daily. A picture posted on Facebook, a text, an email, a call and then a visit that becomes seamless because we made the effort everyday.
