I hope this helps. I know it's helped me a great deal. My daughter and all my friends are over 663 miles away. But having the webcam and Mizpah coin make it seem like they're right next door.
Sadly, my sister is not comeing in town for any holidays not even Christmas which stinks. The first Christmas as a non-family (My parents divorced last year) and my sister won't even be there to help keep us happy whole the other parent isn't there.


I'm gonna buy one of those Coins. Do you know maybe what kind of store sells them? Or maybe where you bought it?


Thank you for all the nice comments. I do have a friend named Mary who steps into Abbey's roll while she isn't here. We do everything, we even fight for like 20 mins and then turn around and are ok with each other (you know, those weird sisterly bond where one minute your fighting the next your hugging?) but she will never be my sister


your comments have cheered me up alot. Thank you.
