May I find His joy even in my sorrow and His life in my death. To God be the glory!

Family Outing

Yesterday evening we packed ourselves, the bug spray, and the little stroller into the car and went on a family outing. We felt super high tech and luxurious. First we drove around town seeing the sights, then we went to the little forest place where we had gone on our last outing before parting in April 2020. That was very special.
After that we went to the hospital (for the second time since coming back). We visited with Odalis, our Cuban friend who is a nurse who worked the pediatric floor with Orcxance.
We stopped by the NICU and Molly got her first look at premie babies; three of them!
It’s not every day that one can just pop into the NICU, swap howdies with the babies and moms and pop out again. A third world privilege perhaps?
Our last stop of the evening was an outdoor restaurant/bar where we strolled Eileen and Molly had a grand time prancing around the garden listening to music on Orcxance’s phone. (My immediate family will know what I mean when I say “prance.”)
When it was close to Molly’s bedtime, we headed home. How nice it is to write those words! I have decided that home is no particular town or country or place but home is wherever we are together as a family.
