Our good friends came back for a week and we met with them two days in a row. It is very different now that they are in Florida. This weekend Dan was presenting for Veteran's Day, the story of an ISU veteran. There were 5 ISU veterans honored on this day, who lost their lives while serving. There were so many sad stories, one a pilot made it to the shore of enemy lines never to be seen or heard from. Another was a medic and worked alongside polio patients only to end up dying of polio. One veteran survived a hell ship of POW's only to escape the ship and die approaching land. The veteran Dan spoke of died in training as a pilot. The 5 veteran's honored were all ISU students and all had such tragic endings while at War. It was fun to see Dan in uniform and hear him give his presentation. Abigail fell asleep and slept through the entire thing. At the end, we had little desserts and then met up at the restaurant Provisions to celebrate the day, Angelia's birthday! How fun to get to celebrate with her in Iowa and her girls. We also saw them at church on Sunday and went out for lunch. Randomly, I also bumped into them as I was in Ames getting food at Chik FilA. They were getting some lunch too and then heading to the airport. That was a sweet meet before they went back to Florida. I was thankful for God's good timing and letting me see them once more. Good friends are such a rare treasure and a true blessing. We miss having them live so near.
