It has been nice spending some time in the States. The family has been taking it pretty hard with the passing of Cindy's mom. Cindy's mom was the glue for her family. Her home was the place where the family always gathered for holidays. The place were the entire family (grandchildren and all) would spend lots of time in the summer hanging out together or, as the grandkids have gotten older, crossing paths regularly to keep up with what's happening in each other's lives. Guess you would say she was the constant in the family and now that she's gone we all feel a little lost because she was the rock the family centered around.
It is hard for Cindy to leave her mom's house because the real possibility is it may be sold by the time we return to States. We know we're not the first ones to lose one so loved but it is still difficult. As those of you who have lost loved ones already know and are probably still experiencing.
We do appreciate a missions organization that would allow us to take the time needed to handle the details that had to be taken care of before Cindy returned. It has also been nice to spend time with family - especially our granddaughter and her weekly dance class (what a hoot), to see Whitney and her husband, to see Michael for a few days, to spend time with friends, and to be encouraged by people that love us.
