She did have wireless internet where she lived, so we did *talk* via IM almost every day, but it just wasn't the same as hearing her voice.<BR/><BR/>Good luck with your doctor's appointment.

I was abroad for five months after college and spoke to my parents by phone once or twice that whole time .. and of course back then no email, no im'ing or any other means of communication except writing letters.<BR/><BR/>Of course there's also a downside to thic connectivity. A friend of mine hosted a high school exchange student from Japan who, he said, never left Japan. She was constantly online im-ing, emailing and blogging japanese sites, surfing japanese websites, etc.<BR/><BR/>I don't think that will be a problem for your daughter though.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1169581978658031182007-01-23T14:52:00.000-05:002007-01-23T14:52:00.000-05:00Ah, what a joyous sound!Ah, what a joyous sound!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9799907.post-1169563703205859142007-01-23T09:48:00.000-05:002007-01-23T09:48:00.000-05:00Wonderful you got to hear your Daughter's voice.

Tens of thousands of birds, health hazard through pure volume of guano, damage to stone work...It's a much better public space as a result.
