This morning Karen’s Dad left us to make the journey to his eternal reward. Our family was all gathered around when he made his peaceful transition. We dressed him for the journey in his western best, including his boots, then shrouded this World War II Navy Air Corps Veteran in the American Flag. Tomorrow is his 91st Birthday so as he left the house we all gathered to sing Happy Birthday!
So sorry to read about your dad’s death. We know how difficult it is to adjust to life without your loved one. He will be missed. Try to remember all the wonderful times you had together and cherish each memory with a smile. For every joy that passes, something beautiful remains. May God grant all your family peace.
Love & Hugs,
Lynn and Art
Queen Mary 2’s arrival in the Port of Dakar, Senegal was heralded in the local press and greeted with ceremony. Our own excursion took us on a coach journey through the streets of the capital city to visit a Wolof village and the shore of Lake Retba, the salty lake famed for an intense pink color.
Today’s safari adventure transported us out into the Dorob National Park to have up close encounters with little creatures that are well adapted to the extreme heat and lack of water in the Namib Desert.
With a UNESCO World Heritage Site, two national parks, dozens of museums, and hundreds of tours offered in the Cape Town area there is more than plenty to do. For our two day visit we opted to concentrate on African wildlife visiting the Aquila Private Game Reserve and the Boulders Beach Penguin Colony for a wonderful chance to these fabulous animals in their own habitat.
Thank you for this and next post! It was a sad time but made easier with all the loving support of family and friends.
So much for which to be grateful!
