I am grateful for the technology of Facetime that allows me to keep in touch with my girls at college, chat with family when we travel, and see my parent's faces.
Beyond the fact that phone calls are basically free with a cell phone plan (compared to when I was younger and we had to pay by the minute), I love being able to call, text, or Facetime with the people in my life who are far away. Anytime.
Facetime is pretty miraculous.
