Dearest Family~
Your daddy and I are on our way!! We are on the airplane, and we are up in the clouds as I write this email to you all! We are looking forward to an exciting week in Greece, but we already miss you so much! I hope you behave for Barbara and Steffi, and I hope that you listen to grandmere' and grandpere'. I know that you will make us proud by behaving; you kids have never been a problem, and I can always count on you to behave whenever it is necessary.
We had no problems getting in through security, and we had no problems in getting into the plane; and once we got into our seats, we just sat down and praised God for the many blessings He has bestowed upon our family. He gave us you beautiful Miracle children, and He gave me the ability to care for people who are most in need, and He also gave me an unshakable faith and the ability to write and share my thoughts with the world. He also gave me wonderful friends from all over the United States (and beyond), and He has given me a wonderful husband who I am proud to call my very own. We are looking forward to seeing Nikolas and Sari again, and I am looking forward to meeting Nikolas' relatives (and seeing Athena again; she will be there at the wedding!). This is going to be an exciting and fun-filled week for us, and I can't WAIT until we set foot in Athens, Greece! From what I have seen and heard, I hear Athens, Greece, is absolutely lovely!
I just wanted to tell you how much we love you (and already miss you!), and we just wanted to let you know that we are on the plane, and we are now on our WAY! We will send you some postcards once we get settled in Athens (and at Nikky and Sari's apartment), and we will probably pick up some souvenirs too, along the way, for y'all. Take care, dear hearts, and know just how much we love and appreciate each and every one of you! See you after we get back!
God bless you all, and may He put His Protecting Hand upon each and every one of you!
Let this coming of age story of a boy named Bean take you back to a simple time. Set in a small southern town in the 1960's, encircled by a river and gleaming white cotton fields.
