Sunday

 

What a terrific afternoon!

Chalon and I spent the afternoon with our

wonderful friends, the Murillo family. 

They are Robert & Billie. Their son, is

Daniel. The same age our son Chalon.

And their lovely daughter, Larisa.

In years past, I have asked Daniel and Larisa to

let me take their pictures. So I could make 

something of a surprise for Billie for 

Christmas or her birthday. But this

year, I wanted to do the whole family.
I know Billie hates having her picture taken.

I know a lot of people hate having their picture

taken. But I truly feel photos are so important.

If nothing else, just to note your time here.

Our very capable picture taking son helped.

 And we spent the afternoon with them.

I hope they are as happy with the finished

collection as I am. 

They are a wonderful family. The best of friends.

Kind, generous, friendly people. When our son went

off to army basic training, Billie knew. She knew I was

 struggling. We were struggling. It was right before

the 4th of July. So what did Billie do, she came by

one afternoon and just said, "Come on. I have to

go to Kohls. Come with me."

They came by to pick us up to take us to their church.

They were having a special service in honor of the

military. And they wanted us to see it.
They have never failed to be there whenever we needed

a friend. To bbq with. Watch a movie. Or just to talk.

They never judge.

And we are blessed to have them in our lives.
