A father has returned

Well, I know i haven't post in the longest time, but here i am.

What to tell... My kids are wonderful, big and healthy... although they were pretty sick two weeks ago for about a week. They had some type of virus, they both had diarrhea and vomiting everything they ate... thankfully they never stopped eating.

Last week i had a retreat, it was a truly wonderful experience. It truly helps us get in touch with our savior. I am emotionally touched and extremely happy!!!

My aunts leave this coming Sunday. They were really happy and liked south Florida a lot. Hopefully they come back soon.

One thing is happening to my husband's life that it's really beautiful and amazing. His father left them when they were both 8 and 10 yrs old. Now the guy has re-appeared. We were all filled with mixed emotions about him, but when he finally contacted Hubby he told him in a very nervous voice how happy excited he was when he knew about them. First to contact hubby was his 5 years younger brother. He told us how happy he was to find out he had two brothers, he always dreamed of and drove 5 hours to meet us. Immediately 15 year old sister starts calling Hubby... talking in the sweetiest voice that you can hear the emotion and happiness in her voice. She told him repeatedly how she couldn't wait to meet and hug his new brother, me and her new nephews. So far sounds nice... so he decided to talk to his father, and they came this past weekend.
He got marry inmediately after leaving his past family, and started a new life... got new kids and all. When he decided to go back to visit his kids, they all have moved out of the country and had come to live in NY. He too was living in NY. He told us how every year in the Colombian Independence party they walked around the park looking for two familiar faces, with no luck. Apparently him and his wife looked for them all this years... more than 20, my husband is 29 years old... go figure.
Conclusion this past weekend was a very good weekend for us... They were very loving, they cried and hugged a lot... my husband's heart has healed his father's absence, and now he is very excited to make up for all that time. This Friday we will be driving up to Jacksonville, Fl to share with them. we are about 5 to 6 hours away, but we are very excited about this new family that has come to our life.
