Jay: OMG SHE'S PRECIOUS. I miss her.
Marco: She misses you, too.
Jay: Here's a picture of Noah's bulldog, Fiona. She's a proper diva. Wears pearls, painted nails, takes bubble baths, the works.
Marco: Aww. She's adorable.
Jay: Yeah she knows it.
Marco: Here are some pics from Afghanistan… of the sunset in the desert. The mountains. A flower market.
Jay: Looks like you can still find beautiful things even in war.
Marco: Yeah. I certainly don't want to take pictures of the ugly things. Those will stay in my mind forever.
Jay: Keep finding beautiful things. Then show me.
Marco: Will do.
