My son Dallas and his fiance' Liz are getting married today in Northampton, Mass. A friend of theirs drew the picture below and I added the writing. The gondola represents the last 3 years they spent in Triste, Italy, working at an Internatonal School. They are now back in the States, have secured an apartment in the Boston area, Liz has a job and Dallas is enrolled at a Graduate program at Simmons college.

These images just have me smiling. Dallas turned 27 this August, Liz is a wonderful young woman and they are a fantastic couple. Sadly, I will not be able to attend their wedding in person, because my family needs me here — more than Dallas & Liz need me there. My dear dad was transported to a Hospice House last night where all of his needs in his remaining time can be better met. You do not need to write - this is a difficult time for all of us. Please just think of me and send your good energy my way. I told Dallas and Liz that my dad would have wanted them to look forward and celebrate their joyous occasion today.

With love, lenna
