Last phone call

Well, we spoke long distance for the last time. Ricky already knew that we are coming and told Steph that he is "very excited". Still difficult to converse without seeing him, but that is just about to be rectified!

Well, it's Friday evening and we are just about to call Ricky to let him know that we're coming to bring him home. Preparations are underway for Steph and I to leave bright and early Sunday morning and arrive late Monday night in Manila. Excited but already tired just thinking about the 24 hr trip. Ricky's smile ought to perk us up though.
