Preview of Tonga
A few weeks ago, Deanne and I went to preview the land of Tonga before we bring the kids back later this month. What an incredible place with incredible people! We met some very generous friends on the beach who shared their fresh seafood dinner with us. Sea urchin just doesn't get any fresher than this!! Not that we have had sea urchin before to compare... Fabulous blow holes... Fresh coconut juice... Freshly picked papaya for breakfast.... Sunsets on the beach that is a 5 minute walk from the property we are leasing... Then we came home to this. Like we needed any more convincing to go back!
Oh what a precious picture this one is. It's like some times II think I want to call my mother or go and see my Aunt Della and then I remember they are not here. However, I do find myself talking to my mother once in a while. I do still feel my parents near at times especially in the temple or when I am in need.
ReplyDeleteBlessings to you sweet friend.
I love this picture. I was so sad to find it was the only picture of Gideon sleeping. He was so peaceful while he slept and many of my memories are of us laying together in bed. I too talk to Gideon. Sometimes I can feel him there and other times I wonder if I am just talking to myself. I do that often.:)
