S'Wonderful S'marvellous

How great is the Internet? Seriously I mean Honestly?

Our Son is now 3648 miles away from us. We have spent the weekend wondering if he was okay... We've had the odd sarcastic comment on Facebook, a slanderous remark about Justin Beiber to his sister, but nothing physical.

Tonight, I sat on the train, I seen that he was on Facebook, I messaged him "Phone Dad on Skye". I phoned home, "get to the computer".

When I got in, 25 minutes later.... there was Dad and Steven Chatting!

Dad finally lost the haunted look that has been over him all weekend, Boy looked delighted to be chatting! I joined in, made him lift the Laptop round the room, and out the window.

Dad went out, and Steven waved to him, Eilidh went out and she waved to him. One of his fellow freshmen came in and said hello and waved to us. It was all so blooming fantastic I could kiss the internet! I could.

I could see my boy is home. My boy is where he is meant to be! he looks contented and happy - he's hot, but he has discovered Air Conditioning works well when it is 104 degrees F. He's discovering new breakfast cereals and he's figured out that boys away from home are all the same - up for fun!

We lost the connection, but I was cool with that. I had seen my Boy, Dad was happy - Eilidh had seen hot freshman. we were all good! But he only went and phoned back "where did you go?", he asked! "no where", I said, "i'm right here". And he smiled!

And I'm happy! No, I'm delighted!
