It was my 24 and I was pregnant with my daughter, my husband had to go away on a trip, he was an athlete so he was competing in a national competition. He talked to me to sleep on the phone and I am the only one who always sleep later at night. It's just so sweet to think that he's much more sleepier than I was :)babalismehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11460705682056340262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27254026.post-82978745309758150672012-07-27T03:33:34.628+09:302012-07-27T03:33:34.628+09:30What a great creative piece!
