Our Annie

One of the best days ever!! We were able to spend one whole day with Annie, our "forth" daughter from Germany!! She is so beautiful!! (For those of you who might be a bit confused right now- Annie was our foreign exchange student from 1994.) We lost touch with her for more than 15 years and reconnected last year when Jac was in London.

Her life sounds really good now- last year, just after we saw her, her father died. He was such a brilliant man- so full of life that its hard to believe he's gone. I'll never forget the night that Annie's parents made a beautiful Italian dinner for us and afterwards her dad regaled us with song after song on our baby grand! Such fun!! He was amazing and he will be missed!! Also last year Annie lost her grandmother....it was a rough year!!

Our Annie seems to be doing quite well in her life. (Despite all the opposition!) She is the executive assistant in human resources to the head of a company called O2-the AT&T of Europe. (O2 has ~ 250,000 employees all over Europe so she is able to travel quite a bit which she loves!) she also has a great partner who seems to love her and be her match- Michael, we need to meet!!

She may have a prestigious job and her life seems glorious but she's still our Annie!! It feels so good when we are together- as if a day has not past since she lived with us! She is so much fun!! We reminisced and caught up on our families. We laughed and cried and the time passed by far too fast! I'm praying that we see her again soon.

We love you Annie!! We will miss you!! Please please keep us in touch!!
