Gratitude


They’re back!!! I just got an email confirming they rolled in on the tarmac in Calgary and they have now set foot on Canadian land. Brenda and James are home.

And me, I started to cry. What else does a mother with a heart full of gratitude do.

Brenda and her fiancé James left on November 27th, 2007 and returned tonight, March 12th after four months of travel exploring Australia, New Zealand, Thailand, Cambodia and Viet Nam. I sent them all the positive energy I could and I cheered them on all the way through but I must admit I am breathing easier now that I know they’re back safe and sound.

They have had an adventure of a lifetime. They kept us updated through as many emails as they could send and through a fairly constant post to their travel blog http://brendajames.blogspot.com/ but I can’t wait to get a first-hand account of their adventures.

It might come about by little bits and pieces here and there since I’m not sure when we’ll get to see each other in person but just knowing they’re in the same country and not across the world is enough for me right now.

Thank you Spirit for their well-being and their safe return home.

Now I'm gonna cry! We had an adventure of a lifetime and stories to tell for years to come, but even still, it is nice to be around all things familiar again! We'll be seeing each other within a couple weeks for sure! Glad you can breath a little easier now...how many more grey's did you get over the last 4 months??

Love you!
