Full Circle


As a parent of grown children, there is nothing better than the sense of satisfied wholeness that floods the heart when your children return home to visit. A similar sense of completion ensues when tlc families return home after many years to visit the birth country of their
children, to visit their roots at the little children's home.


These past two weeks we welcomed two wonderful returning families; from Norway the Fossey-Sandbakks with Jonas, Jostein and Maria Ellaine, all tlc kids, and son Daniel. They brought beautiful pictures of their lives in Norway, sports, friends,
mountains, family, and snow!













And from the Netherlands, the Bettink family bringing their son Samuel who had been with us at tlc nine years ago. Also with them was son Bryan from another home in the Philippines. They are on their way to Leyte to pick up their new daughter.




On both of these happy occasions we shared lunch in our home as we had so many years ago when all of our kids were younger and some,
grandsons Aubrey and Auden
weren't yet born.
