Phamily of Seven

We layed Dad to rest today with a Catholic Mass and a burial service. The weekend was primarily in Vietnamese and rich with Catholic and Vietnamese traditions. It was unlike anything I have ever experienced.

To watch John's 4 sisters and John experience such heartbreak, was well......heartbreaking. Speaking for both of us, this was much more difficult than we had expected. However, God keeps filling our hearts with peace, but yet reminding us that there is a time to cry and mourn as well.

Tomorrow we head to Santa Barbara with John's mom for 2 nights and almost 3 days, until we fly out to Peru on Friday morning at 1:30 a.m. We are hoping to get a lot of rest and relaxation at his mother's, as she lives across the street from the ocean.
