Hiraeth, a longing or homesickness "It is difficult to define hiraeth, but to me it means the consciousness of man being out of his home area and that which is dear to him. That is why it can be felt even among a host of peoples amidst nature's beauty; like a Christian yearning for heaven." --D. Martyn Lloyd Jones

Cute picture! Give Sam our birthday greetings! I can't believe he's 15!
Great picture! (Much shorter then! haha!) How close was this to the broken arm episode? Give Sam a big birthday hug! Aunt Kathy
That was taken in the driveway in Kentucky the summer he was 4--he had just learned to ride the blue bike and spent all his time zipping around the driveway.
The broken arm episode was 2nd grade in Pennsylvania. I'll never forget him begging the doctors and nurses--"I want my Aunt Kathy--she's the best nurse and she doesn't make it hurt! I can wait, I promise!" (2nd graders don't understand 7 1/2 hour drives from Ohio to PA, but they do certainly remember who can "make it all better."
Thanks for being such a wonderful aunt! (and sister!!)
