Excellent news--I heard from C this morning, and he's coming on Friday. He's bringing his wife, and this will be the first time I've met her.

The e-mail I received this morning said this:

I have received the approval from my principal; I will be present at the garden dedication for our mother. My wife and I will leave [our state] Friday morning at 0700am, your time 0600am. Please email me, telling me where I need to be and what time and location that I need to be there; also give me a little detail of what is expected of me and what else I can do to make this dedication a very special honor of our lovely mother. [8], whatever I can do to help, please let me know.

your Big Brother


This news made my day.
