New Family Member

This is Harold and Debbie. She is our "newest" family member.

You just never know what kind of surprise is waiting for you around the next corner. About a year ago Harold got a phone call from his brother out of the blue that he had been contacted by a girl in Florida who said she was Harold's grand-daughter. She left a phone number, and he called, it turned out he had a daughter he never knew about. All this happened more than 50 years ago. What a shock. They began talking and getting acquainted over the phone, and she decided to come to Oklahoma to meet him.

She flew from Orlando to Lawton, and we met her at the airport there. We had pictures so we recognized her instantly. She is friendly and out-going, just like Harold, and we have been having a great time getting to know her. Patti and David are thrilled to have a sister (well, half). She is only staying until Saturday, June 6, but we are sure she will be back.

Life is full of surprises, makes it interesting and never boring.

Emily Dickinson said, "To live is so startling, it leaves little time for anything else."

Wishing y'all pleasant surprises.
