Welcome "Home"

Dean's parents moved to Alabama when the daboyz were dababies. The visits between there and here have been sporadic over the years, 12 hours is a long drive. Dean's mom, Marty, has sisters and a mom still here and his dad, Ben, has one brother. Marty has diabetes and suffers with some serious co morbid medical problems as a result and travel is hard. However, Dean's grandmother is nearing ninety and one of his aunts is ill so she really wants to make a trip north. Sometimes you just need to, you know?

They've never seen our new old house so the Mr. called to tell them that the first week of June, he and I would head to Alabama to pick them up and bring them here for a visit. They were excited, his dad has only recently retired at almost 82 years old and their lives have slowed down. Getting around is harder and they can't make the trip on their own any longer. They will stay with us for that week and do some visiting with family and friends they haven't seen in a while. Please pray for this trip, that they would feel strong enough to make it and that it would be a time of refreshing and renewal for them.

I think the Mr. is pretty excited himself to have them walk through our red front door.
