Staying in Touch

Living these days pretty far from home, I am reminded that there are routines in our every day lives that seem like keeping in touch but actually may fall short. "what's for dinner?" and "where are the kids" are not really keeping in touch. Some folks talk about having "deep" conversations, but those come as needed or requested. But "How are ya?" and "What's been going on in your life?" are better ways of "staying in touch." Many of the military families here at Ft Campbell, KY, have to rely on email and infrequent phone calls to "keep in touch." It both saddens me and reminds me to "keep in touch." You do the same with someone you live. Dr. D.
