Christmas was drawing near, but no package arrived. Cathy checked the tracking number every 23 with Canada Post, and every evening she would call me to 24 if there was any sign of it on our end.

The 25 always started with questions about the package, but twenty minutes later we would still be 26 . We talked about our family , such as parents, our kids, 27 and so on. Of course we also talked about our jobs. We had never made so much 28 for each other! The talk always took us back to the hours we spend together in our childhood.

By Christmas Eve we finally had to 29 the fact that the package was 30 lost. On Christmas morning, Cathy got on the phone with everyone in my 31 and told them what she had sent.
