Global Connection

Just got an e-mail from a childhood best friend saying that she is pregnant.

She lives in Dubai, half way across the world.

Her and I were best friends in 6th and 7th grade. One day, as we sat and chatted during "zangeh tafreeh", we found out we were born on the same day, in the same hospital, meaning we were in the baby room together!

Without Internet, this news would have probably arrived so late, maybe after her child was born...in months or years. Now, she is sending me a picture of the ultrasound.

Wow. What a phenomenon.
