That was the day you all came to the airport to send us on our way to Africa. The green sweater arm is Fro's. The girls were doing a little dance for our send off!

I felt I go to know Joey so well after he went to be with the Lord when I read through his entire travel blog and all the things you've posted about him. Now I get to know a bit more about your's and Joe's family with this trip down memory lane regarding Jaime. It is always heartwarming to read of people's successes regarding their families.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15648301957727020118noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32636055.post-43227790514641325782009-10-24T22:32:55.510-04:002009-10-24T22:32:55.510-04:00Happy Birthday Jaime!!

Thank you so much for being such a wonderful mother to me and teaching me so much about life. You made my sick birthday into a good birthday.

I feel as if I just entered your home and met Jaime; I already like her and admire her. <br />It's wonderful when parents and kids are FRIENDS, and not simply relatives. You have done a beautiful job of fostering such a relationship, and it looks as if it's a privilege on both sides.<br /><br />P.S. Someday, will you write more about the Maui years? I love Hawaii so much, and feel "at home" when I'm there. I can hardly imagine being able to live there.Gbergerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895779471612397202noreply@blogger.com
