First off, thanks for those who reached out privately and on the board for encouragement and well wishes. We arrived at their house in South Haven Michigan. It was a well kept secret town for rich people to escape from. Chicago. The town is beautiful and has very nice beaches and sand dunes. Never saw a lakeshore that resembled an Ocean before. Anyways, a very touristy place without all the business.
Met my mother and step father for the first time and they had a friend put us up in a summer rental home that was magnificent and private. It felt like we had known each other forever and conversations and tears flowed. It was truly a million times better than I could have dreamed or hoped for.
Met my aunts and uncles and my 96 year grandmother. My children have never had grandparents. My wife lost her parents before she turned 9. I lost mine before they were born. To see them have someone that loved on them like grandparents do was amazing.
Now getting ready to say goodbye to my son and our new granddaughter and come back to God’s country today. Prayers for a safe trip. God bless you all and my cup overflows
