It's A Small World After All

Benjamin took this picture of Nana on Skype.



Everyone is pretty familiar with the popular Disney ride and attraction It's A Small World After All. It's my favorite part of Disneyland. But there is so much truth to these lyrics and living overseas the meaning is even more profound. It's a sentiment that has been on my mind lately and never truer than today with the multiple ways people stay connected on earth. It eases the strain of being over 6000 miles from home.


It's a world of laughter
A world of tears
It's a world of hopes
And a world of fears
There's so much that we share
That it's time we're aware
It's a small world after all
There is just one moon
And one golden sun
And a smile means
Friendship to ev'ryone
Though the mountains divide
And the oceans are wide
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all
It's a small world after all


Lyrics written by Richard M. Sherman and Robert B. Sherman

I love Skype! It makes the world so small for us too.

We loved Skype also, until the government closed down our account. In the UAE, the gov controls everything. We had one nice long skype with gmom and gpop and then our account, that was set up before we left, was discovered and closed. We hope someone can pay-off the gov soon so we can talk for free also.
