Today was a very difficult day to be half a world away from our family. First of all, as the title of this entry suggests, we are not there to wish our darling daughter Marelise a Happy 10th Birthday! So, Happy Birthday Sweetie! We wish we could be there to say it in person! Thanks to Aunt Judy and Grandma Hope and Grandpa Hank for making it a special day for you! We will have to give you your birthday spankings when we get home. :)
We also got and e-mail from our travel agent that the flights out of Hanoi on Tuesday morning are oversold and we will not be able to get home as early as we had hoped. We haven't, however, completely given up hope. We may take a taxi to the airport tomorrow to see if something might have opened up.
Finally, we received very sad news this morning from home. David's Aunt Brenda passed away yesterday. Are heart's ache that we didn't get to say goodbye, and we feel badly that we are not home to help with things. We know you are in a better place now Aunt B, but we will miss you dearly.
