There's so much information to exchange during each precious phone call. Logistics, updates, stories from our world, stories from his, hopes, dreams, plans, finances, when we'll next talk, people dynamics, health, family news.
Sometimes this rapid exchange of mundane details is laborious, but often it's comforting. His knowing that I just changed the air filters and emailed his grandparents is trivial, sure - but, it helps ease the feeling he's missing our life.
Seems we always forget to tell each other certain things, though; and even when we talk for an hour or more, it's never long enough to feel quite normally connected.
However, Little One has embraced this new rhythm. Whenever my phone rings, she yells exuberantly, "Hiiiiii, Daaaaaaa!!!"
She's crestfallen when it's not him.
