It does not take much to lift a spirit. A breath of air, a scent of a rose, the sight of a face. For me, it was the latter. After finally meeting my special WP friends face to face a few weeks ago, my heart has been heavy with the weight that distance brings. After bonding so tightly in such a short span, messaging and emailing is just not enough anymore. Hearing a voice on the other end of the line brought a smile to my face. But seeing a smile on the other side of skype was life-giving. The only thing better would be if hands could reach through computer screens to satisfy that sense of touch. Neema, you lifted my spirits as only you can do. Thank you, technology, for making the connection possible. As my other dear friend, Stella, once said: "Need a sister? Join World Pulse."
