A visit with Grandma June

Tonight Ran brought his mom to the airport, concluding a very nice 4 1/2 day visit with her. We do not know when the next time will be when we'll see her, but it was good for Ev to get re-acquainted with her again, and it was great to have this time to catch up on their life and overseas ministry.

Everlea was shy at first greeting, but warmed up throughout the visit. Ran told me that when they were driving her to the airport, Ev mentioned that her eye was dripping (he didn't think she was actually crying) but then went on to say it was because she was sad to see Grandma go.

Ran took Friday off for some extra visiting time, and during her stay here we enjoyed a dinner and evening visit with Randy's cousin (June's niece on dad's side) and family, eating out various meals, enjoying the outdoors and beautiful temps and some shopping too. Today we all piled into the convertible to go out for lunch which was fun.

One special part of her time here was the chance for her to see two of the teenage girls that used to be in the CFI school she and Tad worked at. They refer to her as "grandma" and the Karen children were like grandchildren to them. These two girls have since transplanted to the Charlotte area and are living with a 2nd cousin of Randy's. It was easy to tell their special relationship and we know it was a blessing for June to see the girls thriving in a loving home.






May God bless her (and dad S.) as she heads back in a few weeks to resume their ministry work in a distant land.
