We expected 15, but unfortunately both Kristina and Holly’s son John came down with the flu or some similar malady at the last moment. But it was a lovely gathering and the food, contributed by all, was plentiful and great!
For a year that started so tragically, I feel I have much to be thankful for.
Welcome to Bob’s huge world Holly!
I am so pleased you have found each other. Just from the photos it’s clear that you have much in common. I’ve known Bob and Monika since their relationship began and have a similar story to tell about my current husband — we both lost partners to cancer and then found each other. It’s a gift to experience one’s capacity to love.
The very best to you and yours in 2015!
