Meeting the family

What a lovely day it was. What a loving day. I met St’s parents, and video chatted with St’s borther, and sister. I have met all the immediate family of my love. I honored, and touched. They welcomed me with open arms.

I got to learn more about the great family stories of St’s holocaust survivor grand-parents, and how they came to Canada to build better lives. It was moving to see the resilience, and love this family has. From St’s dad volunteering to help elderly connect virtually with their families during the pandemic, to his mother having dedicated her life to teaching, it’s beautiful to see how dedicated to their community this family is.

I may be tired right now, and not very chatty, but my heart is overflowing with joy. I am blessed
