This is the day uncle Tyler left for Norway. It has taken until today,
Saturday that I "think" I can document it without tears welling up in
my eyes...but then maybe not.

This is not the first time I have been overcome with emotion...
the same way I felt when your mother was little and we lived in
different states, the same way I felt when aunt Lise moved away
from home, the day you were born, the day Margot was born...
and lots of other times.

Laughing and crying about the ones I care deeply for.

Filtered Water

When I came to visit you, Margot, your mother and Mr. Daniel, I noticed how your mother
made the choice of saving money by using a water filter system instead of purchasing
bottled water. At the same time she is helping your environment by cutting down the number
of plastic bottles manufactured and filling our landfills, as well thinking of the health factors.
So grandma Jeanne decided to take your mother's example and purchase a water filter
system for all the same reasons AND every time I get a drink of water I also think of
you.

The visit

Leaving for Dallas...
