Yes, I am finally back from my trip to Venice. I don't know why I couldn't post from there, and I tried a variety of ways but it just wasn't happening.
Although the trip itself was good, I got really sad news when I returned. My brother, Joe, passed away last Friday as he and his wife were flying home from Greece. He was always very healthy and was taken far too soon. I hadn't seen him in 5 years and I regret that. They were taking a cruise that departed from Venice while we were there so we planned a day together before they left. We had a great time together and that is my last memory of him, so it is very special to me. Here are two photos I took while we were together.

My heart and condolences go out to you and your family. How fortunate that you were able to meet up in Venice.
ReplyDeleteMeeting up with them in Venice was a blessing.

ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Debbie. It is hard to comprehend that such a vibrant, healthy person was gone so quickly. I appreciate your prayers and hugs.
