Farewell for Now

by 11 Comments

Well, it’s done. Monday morning the kids said good-bye to Marie. It was bittersweet. They all love each other so much!   Before she left Marie was showing Gideon where England is on the map. Joseph and I (and Henry) drove Marie to Tooele where we spent Monday night at my parents’ house. I have […]

I had an experience almost two months ago that I’ve felt I needed to share but haven’t because, well, there’s always the question “Why didn’t that happen to so-and-so but it did to you?” And I don’t know the answer.
