What a Treasure
A few days ago a package arrived from our dear friend Jude in Australia. She had traveled to Egypt, Japan, Vietnam .... among other places ..... and sent us a package filled with all sorts of incredible things. And then, to top it all off, the phone rang today -- and it was Jude! It was 5:00 p.m. on the 28th here -- and 9:00 a.m. on the 29th in Australia. What a treat, to be able to talk to such a dear friend! (December 28, 2012)
"Don't be dismayed at good-byes. A farewell is necessary before you can meet again. And meeting again, after moments or lifetimes, is certain for those who are friends."
