It is very difficult to be away from family, especially when your sister is planning a wedding.  The thought of missing her wedding shower was very hard.  The price of a plane ticket was too high and I was unable to receive time off from work.  Instead, I was able to use technology to be there during this special time.
     I surprised my sister, at 2:00 a.m. with a skype session at her shower.  I really felt as if I was in the room right with her.  Her Maid of Honor gave me the tour of the venue.  It was gorgeous.  I was then set down at a table with my family relatives.  I was able to chat with many relatives and listen in on great conversations.  
     It was a little bit upsetting when everyone started to eat.  I was longing to have a chunk of cheddar cheese and a bite of salad. Conviently, the battery died on the laptop.  They were able to log me back on, for a short good bye.
     I am glad that I was able to share this moment with my sister and great friend, Heidi.
