Things as they are

On the 1st day of January I came to spend some very special time with my children and grandchildren. I love my family. They are my world and I will do about anything...even sleep on the couch...to be able to spend a few days with them. I have terrific kids even though they aren't 'kids' anymore!

*Thank you, Carlos JR, for being such a wonderful example to your sisters.
*Thanks, AC, for being here for CL and Nan (and making my blog look so beautiful).
*Thank you, MC, for being here for AC and CL and helping them get through some of the rough spots.
*Thanks, RM, for keeping in touch with all of us; for still needing us as much as we need you.
*Thank you, CL, for trying so hard to make the best of this double life we live in the US and CR.

I was to leave in the morning to return to Costa Rica, but things haven't worked out for that to happen. I had my ticket but something needs to be completed that only I, as a parent, can do for one of my kids. We tried hard to get it done but Murphy's law prevailed so I changed my ticket to stay until Wed. the 30th. I am very glad to be able to do this for her since I know this is so important to her.


However, I truly miss...










my husband and best friend.
