Help Big Sis - my computer is down

I was at home watching a little TV.... I know I could have been doing something more productive when my middle sister, Toshia called me. Here is our conversation:

Toshia: what are you doing?
Me: watching TV.
Toshia: I need a little help.
Me: Yes, what is it.
Toshia: I typed over 150 contacts into a spreadsheet and its gone.
Me: OK, search for your file name.
Toshia: I CAN'T FIND IT (panic mode), I need to come over to use your computer.
Me: thinking OMGoodness, but I said come on... We both said bye.
Me: Hey, I'll just come to you.
Toshia: OK, thanks. Less panic mode now.....

Toshia is smiling NOW

Me: Its been two hours and I need to go home in TheAdsOnUs.com mobile. I'll leave the laptop so you can finish.
Toshia: I knew you LOVE me.
Me: Sure do, call me tomorrow and I love you back!

She called and you can hear the relief in her voice because she was able to get her task completed and on time with a little help from her big sis.

A package for Jocelyn from TheAdsOnUs? no from Mom

My daughter is in her third year of college in Maryland. She has been away from home for such a long time.
She attended a boarding high school in Virgina and I would visit her very, very often all four years. Most visits were at her request, others were just random to make her smile and to ease my mind. OK they were really for ME.

I would often send her cards, notes or packages of things to make her LESS homesick.

Once she entered college, she didn't seem to need the same level of attention because she hit the campus running. Joining several activities on campus. We still managed to call every Sunday to 'check in' or if something important came up we would call. There was always a quick email or text message with an ending that said I love you and she would say I love you more. There I go smiling again :)

One day near the end of her junior year out of the blue... she said mom I need a package! I was totally surprised. I said You DO? Yes, she said. OK I said... again I smiled. So what's a mom to do?
Send a package!

Treats from home for Jocelyn
She called to say: I GOT A PACKAGE! We both smiled. I said I Love You and she said I Love You More.
