We children are scattered far and wide, and she has never even met some of her great-grands, five of which live in Brazil. (Next summer their parents are planning to visit the states if at all possible and introduce their children to all of us.)<br /><br />I'm so thankful for email and the ability to transfer photos to one another. That helps Mom a lot, and yet I can't imagine what she must feel sometimes. <br /><br />At one point, one of my sisters and her family was in S. Korea on missions, and she got very, very ill. There was absolutely nothing we could do and at the time, no way Mom or anyone else could have gone.<br /><br />God's grace carries us through those times. I'm so glad He understands our hearts!Nan Keltie Potterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18006062146774236103noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-283531563333914651.post-45738813687193420042010-06-17T21:06:48.706-07:002010-06-17T21:06:48.706-07:00Oh, I'm so very, very sorry, Nan!
