Daisy Skype

Daisy is in the Dominican Republic. But Skype keeps her close. She pops up on the computer screen. Already I've met--and chatted with--the Big Sis of Daisy's host family. And what I see on Skype confirms that it is really hot in the DR. Daisy's hair curls in tight humid circles around her face. And the fan is blowing. Daisy speaks longingly of showers even as she fills me in on what she and her new friends, and her borrowed family, are planning. And I am so glad to see her, to know that she's o.k. Thank you Skype for keeping Daisy as close as the laptop propped open on my lap tonight, even as she grows into a world citizen two time zones and many latitudes away.
