I'm still here, always here. I got her a laptop a few years ago and we built a website together (she wrote it, with a lot of "guidance" of course, using a classic text editor and FTP style, so she really learns the tech...this year I think we'll update it, but I'll be darned if we slap a Wordpress template on it and run with things...she needs to learn what the code is and what it does, and with that comes logic, etc...
So, many years in development (though, my god, she has no natural layout skills! But, who does?)...
Last year, after experiencing the difference between facetime and skype, I got her an iTouch. That's mostly how we stay in connection now.
She calls me up a few times a week, or I call her, and we read her stories and talk about how she's doing. We've done this for years now. The last book we finished was Beezus and Ramona (which she quite proudly read most of to me).
Her stepfather is a great guy, her mother is a great gal, but nothing beats being there with your kid.
I do miss her. I'll end this sob story now, sorry...
