I’ve felt much sadness from the news of the shooting in Las Vegas earlier this week. I think of all the parents grieving over their beloved children, no matter what age the children are. I believe God is grieving over this violent act too.
So I am ever more grateful to be able to give both my sons a hug this week. Our oldest son lives in the cities, our younger son lives in Mozambique, Africa but is here in Minnesota for a visit. I am grateful for these two wonderful, healthy, young men and their families.
We have had a nice visit with our youngest son, the father of two of our three grandchildren.
We went for a hike and ate a picnic lunch at Nerstrand Big Woods State Park,
and sat around a bonfire in our back yard under a full moon, along with sharing meals and stories together…and a little shopping for gifts to bring to his family back home.
He met his five-month old niece for the first time too. We are celebrating life!
Valerie, I am so so happy for you and Gary to have your son home from Africa. And happy for this special time together. It makes my mama’s heart happy to read of your joy.
Thanks Audrey. I know you know the feeling.
How wonderful that had to be having your sons together with the new addition to the family. Your prayer has been answered.
Thanks Barb.
