i can see you...

I have been watching my dad and, sometimes, the side of my mom´s mouth for about an hour now. Webcams are a wonderful thing, even though they give me a twinge of homesickness. It´s really cute to just watch your dad blink for about an hour...and once in a while look really confused. We would be talking but the connection is staticky. I can hear their voices but can´t make out what they´re saying. I´m just really happy that they can still call me, so I can have a normal phone conversation with them. And still be able to verify that the mask and snorkel they´re sending me are the right ones.
