Celebrating Mom's birthday in British Columbia!
What a special weekend we've had reconnecting with old friends and revisiting places that hold so many memories for our family.
Yesterday we visited Trinity Western University, where Dad served as a professor and Dean of Students in the early '70s. It was wonderful to reconnect with friends from those days, especially since Dad passed away two years ago. So many good memories!
Today was Mom's birthday, and we spent time with more longtime friends, including some she and Dad first met through church many years ago.
We enjoyed good food, good fellowship, a few much-needed naps, and finished the evening with an old-fashioned hymn sing—which Mom especially loved!
Since I was born in Langley, BC, this area holds a special place in our family's history. It's been a weekend full of memories, laughter, gratitude and a few reminders of how precious lifelong friendships really are.
Happy Birthday, Mom! So thankful we get to share this time together!
