Sadness

L's father passed away unexpectedly this week - a dearly loved father and husband, fun grandpa, kind and generous friend. His legacy will live on. Family and Love are eternal; that is a comforting conviction.

Happy, Swiss Memories

A dear friend recently passed away.

 He was mission president in Zurich during our Eichberg time. Their children and ours were about the same ages, and we had some great times together. We enjoyed sharing with them some of our favorite spots in eastern Switzerland and across the border in Vorarlberg as we went on walks and hikes and a few camping trips.

What I especially remember about Keith is his great kindness and tolerance, and his love for his wife and children. He truly was / is a special person.

Happy Fathers Day to Our Sons

My heart bursts with gratitude and happiness when I see what truly devoted, loving and hard-working adults and fathers our boys have become. What a joy. Thank you for all you are and do.

A beautiful day, a blessing day.

Was in California to visit this darling trio.
I don't even have words, except for one: LOVE.
