favorite friends from Delft

our days in cape town were the best days of our lives.  what immense joy we all shared together!  this is one of many photos capturing the silly moments -- making faces for the camera depending on what mood we asked them to portray.

our kids feel like these friends are their brothers and sisters.  truly as family.  the closeness we share is divine.  it's not limited to this world.  it is bound by God's love.

until life takes off on a new path, i find myself longing to be with these souls in delft.  i feel like they are my children.  it makes my heart sad being away from them.  it broke my heart again when recently one of them said over the phone, 'so, we're never going to see each other again, are we?'
