Where have I been? Right here at home!


I have not been faithful to my "few" readers.
As we have mentioned, Ted a bit more than I actually, we were away to attend the funeral of my eldest brother Dirk. It has not really sunk into me that he is gone. What is that about family? There is this love running through our veins. It was good to be part of the funeral, actually a tribute as he was being cremated. Before the service in their church a chance was given to view him.
There was a beautiful reception prepared by the ladies of the church. Afterward there was a very relaxing time (family only) at Robert and Dafne's place. Robert is the youngest son. They had this fantastic buffet and we were able to sit in their backyard. It was wonderful to be together like that and how happy I felt to be part of it.











My grand niece Emilie chatting with her brother Derek who flew in from BC.So it was also a happy reunion for the family.







We know where he is which is a real comfort to his wife Willy and all of us.

This morning Ted and I were watching a religious program in which the preacher mentioned that we are to rule with Christ. Ted said: "I agree with him we are to rule there "big time", may be even ruling our own planet!" He continued by saying, " there is nothing to rule on this planet, we end up ruling each other!" To which I replied: "You are ruling me already, I do not want to go into eternity like this!" It has got to be better, else I ain't going, hahaha!

I know it was wonderful to see your family. I hope God gives you peace during this time. I will always enjoy the memories of the few times I saw Uncle Dirk. He was a delightful man and loved the Lord.
