....thanks for coming to read my blog.


I hope that you will enjoy keeping in touch with our lives, and that one day, you might even make the trek out to come and visit with us (**NB - VISA's upon arrival for Canadians once again!!).

Grab yourself a nice cup of tea (Make mine JTG's Blue Mountain, mixed with a hint of French Earl...but get something that suits your fancy), and let's catch up...

Brothers

The other day, we were driving home from breakfast.  Tummies bulging, and feeling a bit sleepy, Little A calls out from the back-seat:

"Daddy--what's your brother's name?".

Just out of nowhere.

Peter replies, "You know my brother's name."

She pipes out, "Is it Kim Hong?".

It has been a little over a year, since Kim Hong died.  I don't think that time has eased his passing for his wife Kimberly.  I spoke to her over the phone, just a few weeks back.  She sounded wonderful--but did share with me how the anniversary date of his death was so very difficult for her.

I remember when she told me that she didn't know where Kim ended and she began.  I am not sure that time ever will be able to heal the sense of loss that she feels.  I hope that it will.  I wish I could be more optimistic.

We managed to share some laughs, and talk openly.  It has always been so easy for Kimberly and I.  I am looking forward to spending some time with her this summer.
