Our son, Tim, who lives in Mozambique, managed to arrange a visit to Minnesota after a business meeting he attended in Washington DC. It was a great surprise to learn about this visit. We hadn’t seen him since October of last year.
We had three wonderful days together and nice family time along with our older son, Michael, and his family. We did miss having Tim’s family with us though.
It’s difficult to see your children once a year – and then not all of his family – our daughter-in-love and two grandchildren. Technology helps some these days…we hope our grandchildren recognize us after seeing us on Skype when we see them in person some day…but it’s hard.
So when we took Tim to the airport once again I was sad to say good-bye. After many years you’d think it might get easier, but it does not.
I do cherish the times we have together and hopefully we will get to see the whole family very soon.
Here is a photo our adorable grandchildren who live in Mozambique.
It must be very difficult to be so far away from family, but what a joy it must have been to have a visit from Tim. Your grandchildren are beautiful – glad you have Skype to stay connected!
Thanks…they are cute aren’t they? tee hee
It was a joy to have a visit from Tim!
I understand. Although my son is not nearly as distant as yours, I see him only once or twice a year also. The parting never gets easier. The missing is always there.
I pray soon you will have Tim and family all here together in the U.S.
Thanks Audrey. I know you understand. I’m happy you will be getting a visit soon.
