I have found that living in a place far, far away from home makes me appreciate certain things that might not have been as big of a deal before. One such thing for me is, mail!
Since I have been here, my parents have sent me a care package along with some nice cards from other loved ones. Although that is always nice to receive, you would have thought I was 5 years old and it was Christmas morning in France! I will always remember how it feels to be all alone and then receive a little piece of home the old fashion way that just isn't possible via technology. In summary, hooray for snail mail!
