It's weird how someone can make you feel so good over distance.

"...I don't know, but you think this through as if I'm a strong woman!" said I, frustratingly to Gordon over our conversation on the phone. The call has been going on for an hour and a half. It's typical. Especially if I have something to talk about.

I always can whine out about things to him. "You ARE a strong woman, aren't you?" Gordon replied. And God, that was the thing I needed to hear. I shed a tear or two without letting him know (of course!) and... I smiled! I didn't know who to thank first - God or Gordon.

After a long pause I said, "...well, I am. Thank you so much for reminding me."
"Good, now don't act like you're not."


Gordon, you might not discover this. But, this is for you. Thank you for lighting up my day, you have no idea how good I feel right now.
