1402 INTRO TO MY INEXPERIENCED ADVENTURES INTO PARENTING Part 35

2015
Amazing how much 'long distance fun' loving hearts can enjoy, many miles apart ...
Just sent four disposable cameras across the country, so my great nieces and nephew can take pictures at their little brother's birthday bash.  Then, I sent a text to their mommy asking her to ask the kids to save one snapshot, so that after their three year old brother's B/D surprise (storybook that spells out his name) arrives in two weeks, Mommy can snap a photo of her munchkin quartet, holding their special 'name' books, now that the set is complete, and once that photo is mailed to me, I'll slip it into a 4x6 frame and place it where I'm sure to see and smile at four smiling faces, every day!  When missing each other makes us feel sad, thoughts of enjoying our free-flowing, loving connection makes us feel glad!  Amazing how much 'long distance togetherness' warms hearts, separated by time and miles, when creativity comes out to play! And as I'm looking forward to enjoying a fun-in-the-sun play date with Ravi, that's all the writing time I have, today.
PS
Littlest brother, birthday boy shares his birthday with my mom, and oldest sister shares hers with my dad.  Fancy that!  When we're missing those who are loved, deeply, reasons to smile abound!  On the other hand, here's what happens when sadness or frustration causes us to stuff countless reasons to smile too deep inside:  Each time a smile, that's been repressed, tries to escape from feeling caged in a dark, gloomy place, it might slip out ... upside down!

Here are my great nieces and nephews, holding up honey sticks, like the ones I send, every now and then, to let them know that time spent with each one 'tastes' as sweet as sugar to me!
