Here I am again

Well, with the help from my beloved niece I think I have got the hang of this blog thingy. What to say - such a lot is happening in my life at the moment that time seems to be literally flying past. First of all, Maureen and I spent such a lovely few hours with Amy and Caroline yesterday - both are so similar in development that its hard to believe that this is mother and daughter in front of us. We have watched Caroline go through the same steps that Amy is now tentatively taking. we are so blessed. But enough of them after all you get all the latest news of Amy from her mother. I am sooooo excited about going to the USA to see our son Andre. It is 5 years since he left to go to the New World and a new world it has become for him. A job in the hospitality trade, an American fiance and wedding and so much more. I hate flying but any mother for a child will walk through flames to get to her offspring. So that is what I am going to do on the 20 October - fly which I think is completely unnatural for any human being. Encased in a tin can - albeit very large, with too many other human being for an unbelievabley long time to get to the other side of the globe. Going backwards in time - too terrible to contemplate. BUT at the end a reunion so memorable it will last a long time in my memory. Tomorrow, 27 September, together with my closest friends and family I will celebrate a Bridal Shower for Jenelle - she will be having the same in Florida - only behind us by 6 hours. Champagne, snacks and lots of love will flow around me as we try to share this exciting time with my future daughter-in-law. At last my family is increasing not only with a daughter-in-law but her extended family. How blessed are Gerrit and I. Am I going on too long with this blog - - can't help it I'm inclined always to say too much. But I am excited - join in this wonderful time with me. You also are important at this time and I wish you were all going with us on the adventure. Until next time God bless
