I was reading the blog today. Hadn't seen comments for a while and when I read about Julius, I got a little misty, thinking about this lucky man who was truly appreciated and valued and the lucky family renewed renewed by the universality of kindness and caring and love. What great stories.
So glad you all seem so happy.
Great stories. Brings back memories of our trips in the past
