To and Fro

Since dad's death, we've been back and forth to AZ a few times. During the trips to AZ we were able to say goodbye to our dad properly and we were able to enjoy a Mix family reunion in Vegas. It was very difficult to leave for the last time. Living in Alaska never felt so far away from home as it does right now. I'm sure that with some time, the distance will not be so painful for me. Or perhaps we'll secure a job in the states that will put us closer to family. We are enjoying the beautiful summer here. I think of my dad constantly. The lessons I'm learning are so beautiful. I wouldn't change anything, actually.

Happy 4th to all of you and God Bless America!
