Well, I want to talk about a text message that I got from my sister. So my sister lives in London and during the summer she planned to visit us. While we were on our way to the airport to pick her up, I got a text message from her including the information about her arrival, the gate number and all the details about her arrival time. And when we were going to meet her inside the airport, I actually got really excited when I received the message because when she’s in London, we communicate through online messaging platforms. And this was the first time that I got a message from her local phone number in a long time. And I got really emotional and excited about it. And it was just really special to me because I was really waiting to meet her and I really missed her so much. And to conclude, the message was not including any important or crucial information but it was really more emotional to me. And I got really excited to receive the message and it made me… That particular message really sound out in my memory because of the emotional weight that it had.
