A Long Red Thread

I started this post on Friday night & had every intent of finishing it over the weekend - but , alas, Becky & I brought home souvenir colds from our trips - bad ones. We have both been really sick - so to see all the wonderful pictures of our trip, visit Kim's blog (just click on her name) - scroll down to the entry's on Karen & Becky's visit (there are 2 parts) - and thanks to Kim for faithfully blogging!

There is a Chinese saying "There is an invisible red thread which connects those who are destined to meet, regardless of place or situation. The thread may stretch or tangle but never break...". This red thread in my life stretches over 30 (YIKES) years! Dave & I were friends in boarding school and we have remained friends over the years. When he met his wife Kim back in the early 90's, she & I also became good friends. This week, I took Becky to see them, their two boys Will and Harry, and their 30 month old daughter, Kate Emerson. Kate Emerson came home from China on April 4, 2007 and we received our referral for Becky on April 4, 2008. This was Dave & I on Tuesday night with our girls
