What good looking kids!
Roma and I have recently been able to visit some of our children's homes and spend time with them.  It is fun as a parent to watch your own kids be parents.  It makes us feel good to see what a good job they do.  I guess we must have done a few things right!  With my cancer Roma and I tend to dwell on what we are facing down the road.  Its nice to get away from those thoughts and be involved in the day to day activities of a functioning vibrant family where it is easier to think of youth and life.  It makes us focus more on what is important in life-that being family.  We love to spend time with our kids.  They have all been so attentive to us and helped in SO many ways during this past year.  (Yes, almost a year ago, June 3rd)

We also have been blessed with so much help and love from friends.  Angels that we have never met have bought quilts at the charity auction our sister sponsored for us and many  many other kindnesses have benefited our lives.  We appreciate so much the visits from our friends.  They are so thoughtful and buoy us up.  It's been a glorious spring and we are happy to be alive and doing well.  We love you all, Paul and Roma.

  2. It's good to hear about your family activities. What would we do without our families. We're glad things are going well. Love you.
