Alan and Aaron

What a great day! One of the main reasons we came to San Antonio was to see my stepson Alan. As a teenager, Alan lived with us for more than a year before he moved back with his mom and then joined the Air Force. I hadn't seen him or his son since 2002.


So today, Alan and Aaron (along with four footed friend Riley) came to the park to visit. We talked and talked and talked for a couple of hours and it was a wonderful chance to catch up with their lives. Alan is still the kind, gentle man he has always been.


We learned about Aaron's interests and hopes for the future. Such a handsome young man! I'm sure he's a regular teenager, but presented himself as polite, responsible, hardworking and quite charming.

We have already made plans to meet with Alan on Friday to attend the Battle of Flowers parade in downtown San Antonio to watch Aaron march with his school band. Yea!!!

One of the wonderful things about this lifestyle is that we can see family anywhere in the U.S. far more often than when we lived in a stick house.

P.S. Thanks Doug for taking pictures!
