And Merry Christmas to All!
December 24, 2007 | Uncategorized
We just ate a whopping Christmas Eve dinner, and opened one gift. Only Maria is here with our family unit. Teyla and Luis are in the kitchen doing the dishes.
I just wanted to let all of you know that Jani went back home to her Dad and stepmother, Esther, in Tulsa, Oklahoma. She was in doubt about her bio Dad being dead, and Esther went to work helping her find her Burpo family in Birmingham. They found them, and discovered her grandmother (Barbara), Daryl’s mother, and Derrick (his brother). She found that Daryl was dead, just as we said. Her grandmother was overwhelmed with happiness to hear from her. She is her only grandchild.
Apparently, Daryl had straightened up his life, was attending church, and was mistakened for a cop. He was shot and robbed. His birthday was on December 3rd, and this time of year is always especially difficult for his mother. Finding Jani has been a miracle for her.
I only hope it works out for the best.
Love to you all, and it was about 80 degrees here in the sunny, sunny south today.
Lainie, we’re looking forward to having you with us, and if you don’t already know, Tony has said he’ll be here to visit with us on Wednesday. Luis called and asked him to come, and told him that you will be here. He said that was fine, and he doesn’t know who else will come with him. I’m praying that he will really come.
I hope that all of you are having a Merry Christmas, and I miss you so much. It was so lonely tonight, with just seven people sitting around the Christmas tree, and opening one gift each. We’ll open the rest of our presents tomorrow morning, and our Christmas stockings.
Love
MOM
