I do. This blog is going to be a bit out of the ordinary. That's because Linda and my planned trip to attend my son Will's graduation from Cardozo Law School in New York City was anything but ordinary. A couple miracles interrupted our plans. Miracles can be one of two kinds 1) highly improbable event, but still complying with the laws of nature, and 2) event which violates the laws of nature. Ou... Read Full Entry

Home and Away

I started blogging on Travelblog in 2009, entering trips beginning in 2007. My intention has always been to document my years of travel since my birth...how else was I to save all the slides my Dad took of my childhood! Most bloggers write about their trips away from home. Mine, and eventually Linda's, homes have usually been where people travel to. So the idea eventually percolated to name our blog "Home and Away." The blog is not intended to be an autobiography, although I spent my entire life traveling, with Linda joining me after college, it may appear to be that way. As this... full info

Do you believe in miracles?
I do too, Bob. I see both sides of the equation of life in my work. Typical for children to cause such a roller coaster time at the same time and really great to hear there was a good ending and good fortune ensured for the three of them. Congrats on another grandchild, Will has graduated and Tamara and Rosanna are well. Denise & I send our best wishes to Linda, your family & you at this time.

Miracles and love
I'm so happy that the medical emergencies turned out well for your daughters, and I'm sure part of the outcome was based on the incredible love you all have for each other. Even though you're spread out geographically, you're still so close in your hearts. Congrats on having a new, healthy grandchild, on Will's graduation and on having fun sightseeing in NY. Lots to be grateful for.

Miracles and happy endings
I'm glad I knew from the blog title that happy endings were coming or I would not have enjoyed reading. What a few days your family had to endure. I feel for the strain your family has been under. I think all of you need to sit down, reflect, again be thankful and yes, eat another bowl of ice cream. It is the only sensible thing to do at this point.....and count those blessings.

Wow! Unexplained medical miracles are amazing enough, but to see the miracle actually happening in real time on a scientific monitor...there are no words for that. Praise be to God.
