Far, Far Away

I miss my granddaughter. She lives on the other side of the world. Not all the way on the other side but far enough so that it is very far away and very expensive to get there. She lives in Athens which is 4,937 miles from New York City or 26,067,360 feet. I can only walk 2 feet with each step or 13,033,680 steps. I would need a backpack filled with many pairs of new shoes in it to make it there and maybe a bottle of water and a sandwich. By the time I would get there she would be all grown up!  We see each other on FaceTime. It is different from being there and there are no hugs or walks to the candy store, but it still makes things better.
