Miss You So Much

A little past midnight last night Cici sent an email message to me.  I opened it this morning.  She is still in Chicago on her concert band tour with her school band.

I tried to call you just now, the message said, but there was no cell phone signal.  My classmate also has T-Mobile, so she also has no signal.  I can't call you, but I will be back tomorrow, and I will call you in the morning.  I am not sure when, but I will call you tomorrow.  I miss you and Mama so much ...

Her plane is due to arrive in Houston around 12:30 this afternoon, so she will be back home soon.  It is Spring Break for her this week, so she can burrow back into our home where she loves to be with us.  It has been a long few days without her.  I can only imagine how difficult it will be for us this summer when we are separated for two months.

Our T-Mobile contract ends in May, and I think they will let us change carriers up to 60 days before the contract ends without paying the early termination penalty.  This incident gives us another good reason to change to Verizon.  She had the same problem with no signal when she went on school trips for the freshman and sophomore retreats and for marching band activities.

Fortunately, Cici was able to call me yesterday morning while I was at the office.  I was meeting with new clients but I answered hercall anyway.  We only talked for a few minutes, but it lifted our spirits, and she promised to call me last night.  Hence her email.

I can't wait to hear our daughter's laughter ringing through our home again, and to see the big smile that she wears on her face.  Yes, I also miss you so much.

    You might want to make sure that Verizon and their CDMA, or whatever, phones work in China.

      We have cell phones in China, Smitty, so we aren't concerned about the girls' phones.  Some of my business clients tell me that they use their Blackberry with Verizon using an inexpensive international option, so when I travel to China that is what I plan to use.
