Parenting from afar

May I just say that long-distance parenting sucks. Its hard to be away from your kids, especially on a big occasion. But also just when big things are happening in the world and you need a little reassurance that the one you love is safe and sound. Actually, lately we've all needed a lot of assurance. In fact, when I think about it, I'm pretty bad at being a long-distance daughter, friend, aunt, or whatever too. And maybe my close-up skills need a little work as well. So I hope all of you out there know I love you. You know who you are. Stay safe out there.
