My brother got a new phone - and I am delighted to discover he has FaceTime available. No one else I know has that capability. I call him and try it out. What a marvelous improvement on the phone. I see myself in the corner of the screen, and I see him in living color in real time! This is great. Way better than skype which only works sometimes, and you can't move around with it. With the cell phones, the link is portable. And they can point it at anything around them so I can see everything.
I ask to talk to Mom, and we can finally see each other. I am ecstatic. She looks thin and tired, but is sitting calmly. We chat for a few seconds, then she is done talking.
THIS is what I have wanted for a long time. I don't need an hour of chatting. Just to check in and see that she is OK. It is way to easy for her to say she doesn't want to talk on the phone, but my brother just shoves the screen in her face and she can't say no. Hurrah! I am so glad to have this option. I plan to call everyday and check in. Thank you, tech gurus who make this possible.
