Our gracious hosts, Chris and Jan. We had such a good time here...eating, catching up on old times and discussing family issues. You see, that within the last month, our family has lost not only Chris and Jan's niece (very tragic and very sudden) but also Jan's mom, my aunt 10 days later. Her passing was a blessing as she had been suffering for some time and I think was ready to move on. Chris and Jan as well as my cousin Sue and her husband Tom have gone through these ordeals with strength and compassion It hasn't been an easy time for anyone, but particularly for these 4. Probably the best thing to come out of this is that it has brought our entire extended family together in a manner that the family has not experenced for quite some time. For that I'm very grateful. |
