Martel Graduated

Sue and I picked up My Mother and Father yesterday. We drove to Delton Michigan. Sue my wife has a GPS it can make a trip very interesting. The trail to Delton led to a rural road with old farms and Two story houses. WE noticed a lot of Four wheel drives and green plants everywhere. Their was road kill every two miles or so, and the smell of Cows and Livestock. The grass was tall everywhere, unlike the city. I felt like a visitor to a new land. Lily pads, I have never seen so many Lily pads, driving and turning on cracked blacktop, water was everywhere.

We arrived too John and Julie's house feeling tired from all the Tractors and small Burgs we passed through. Pulling up in the driveway is sad, I expect Julie to run out of the house and give me a Hug, telling me how much she loves me. Martel ran out and gave us a hug, that is the closest to her I felt as gave me a squeeze. Martel was transplanted in this Rural land. You would never know, but because of Julie and John's love he is very much Our Nephew, and John's Son. I am having a hard time thinking about what it would be like without your Mother at your Graduation, but Martel was very strong and happy, maybe Julie's is too.

He is SO strong physically and mentally, and handsome. I am so proud to have been their as he received his diploma. He has many plans, and I am not going to reveal them, because they change every time I see him. John is moving along on His and his deceased wife's book. I hope it is published so John can get on with His Life without Julie. I am going to pick up our Bicycle built for two at the Shop. I still have that vision of John and Julie riding another Tandem bike after their wedding. I guess losing your spouse is losing your partner for the tandem bike, and trying to ride it alone, knowing that it will never be the same.

Congratulations Martel We love you the Moulds family.
