November 5, 2016 Posted by Keith Wight 5 Comments

Just before dark last evening Luckner pulled up in the truck with some very precious cargo. Mama Karen and Ti Luc are back from an extended visit to Canada. For the past couple of days there has been much joy, cleaning and anticipation of their return. Family time, vacation and doctor’s appointments are finished for now. They are back home where they belong and the kids are delighted.

There Were Hugs

There was a Welcome Sign

And then there was another surprise…?

Josiah, Karen’s grandson appeared out of the truck. He had travelled from Calgary with them to be Karen’s baggage porter and Ti Luc’s personal valet. More hooping and hollering. And he is staying for a few days too!

The kids couldn't believe Josiah was here too!

    So happy to see you arrived at HATS safe and sound. I’m sure you had a warm and exciting welcome! Love the fact the children had stories and pictures for you… be sure to take care of yourself and don’t work too hard. Todd

    The kids must have been so happy to have you home. I can imagine the tightness of the hugs and the love shared with each of them. It must have felt good to be in your own warm room and bed. Bet you slept well!
    Now to catch up on all the stories and news from each of them!!
