I was so happy to come home after a long LSA meeting to find that my grandmother Torres and my sister had called. I listened to both messages before calling my grandmother. I think I got her out of bed but she was really gracious and assured me it didn't matter as she's not doing anything at the moment (due to retirement). I got my dad's home number from her as I had been having trouble when calling dad.

It was a very short conversation with her but she sounded well and told me my aunt Lilly is well too.

I called my sister next but I had to leave a message. I think I called her too late. I was disappointed as I really wanted to speak with her. My sister had left the message that the baby was born and didn't leave any other details which was a bit annoying because then I couldn't get a hold of her or anyone else.

I called my dad next and I was so happy to hear him again. We must have spoken for like an hour (mostly me) telling him all the stuff I've been up to since we last spoke. I told him about Kolya. Where he's living, what he's doing etc... I wanted to be sure to tell him about Kolya as I wouldn't want to totally surprise him one day with "serious relationship" news for things are going very well with Kolya and I. My dad was very supportive about it and told me he totally trusted any decision I made because he knew me to be responsible and intelligent. It's still nice to hear things like that from your dad :-)  My dad asked me to start savings my pennies for coming to see him. I told him jokingly that "who knows, maybe by next summer". Of course it's wishful thinking but I think it might actually be possible.
