Family Memories

Yesterday, we spent a very relaxing but at the same time exciting day with our friends. It's always a pleasure to meet up with them. Over the last ten years, we have had the opportunity to get to meet them. It started out with two brothers and the mom. One brother was added to the company a couple of years ago and just a couple of months ago, we got to meet a fourth one. What a great family..

In 2007, when they were over in the States to visit their brother and his family, a video was shot to surprise mom for Mother's Day. It was moving to see how mom and sons get along and cherish one another. The American brother said a remarkable line: "Many people are embarrassed about their parents... We are not. In fact, our mother is so intelligent, interesting, articulate and special, that we even introduce her to our own friends..." That is so special and it's true.. She's a remarkable lady.

She welcomed us in her home, and let us enjoy her excellent cooking skills. No wonder her sons still love to come home for lunch or dinner. It must be wonderful to have such a warm family, where you always feel welcome and accepted. They get along so well, even after all of those years together. I felt privileged to be invited into their home again and enjoy the family memories. And do they have memories all right! I have never seen so many pictures, I have never heard so many family stories and I have never before enjoyed TV-moments of a family like this. Their mom wanted to have a daughter, but got 6 sons instead. Sons she hasn't regretted at all. She's so proud of her children and they worship their mother. It was moving to be there and a little overwhelming to see the video on their mother.. She's a lucky woman and they are fortunate to be born in such a loving family..

Thank you my friends.. it was a true privilege and pleasure to spend another wonderful day together. Looking forward to our next meeting.. xx
