Aunt Cheri


Cheri in her new pashmina from Malaysia!

"goofy girls and a goose"

We had such a lovely and bittersweet visit with Devin's beautiful Aunt in Nappa. It was such fun to catch up and be together. We always love our time together more than words can say....how we wish we lived so much closer to her. And the bittersweet, was saying what feels like our final goodbye to dear sweet Uncle Bob. Bob has been challenged by and survived thus far early onset Alzheimer's disease. In December, he was confined to bed after many years of being such a trooper in so many ways. Cheri, who deserves a seat right next to St. Theresa...has been caring for him with all her courage, strength and love. So as we held his hand, we said our gentle words, and kissed him peacefully. Then a few cathartic tears~ saying goodbye for no matter how long stretches our hearts and often hurts. We LOVE you Cheri and Bob!
