A dear friend of mine lost her father very unexpectedly Saturday morning. He was a wonderful man that made me feel like family the first day I met him. I have so many fond memories, although I think my favorite is a picture of the two of us from his daughter's wedding. It is so hard to lose someone close, especially this time of year. I am going to miss Dave very much.

December rocks!

12-2: Update from the Bethany blog

Only 23 days until Christmas and the year end is quickly coming too! How did 2008 go by so quickly? Onto the good news - we received five referrals this week! Families waiting for referrals are now waiting since November 2007. Eight children arrived home in November with more children already scheduled to travel home in December.
