{My time in Ottawa} ~ Brunch with Sister-Friend's Family

I have known my sister-friend and her husband since my 

days at TWU; we met in 1998 and it is the only time that

I met someone and had an immediate sense of 

'I want to know this person'...

years later she is my wedding sponsor and I her youngest son's

godmother... 

I feel that our journeys towards/within salvation are deeply linked.

Seeing the icons in the picture above is always meaningful to me...

I remember those first icons they had...

and there are are a few that I have given them, as the years went by...

We had a fast-friendly brunch and

the best breakfast dishes were put out!

When I lived in Ottawa I spent many a meal with them,

it's still strange that we are not living in the same town;

it's crazy that it's 2.5 years already since I did live in the same town!

With three boys, two parents and me, 

it was a lively meal.

I had some time talking with just my sister-friend

and then later a bit of time also with my 3+ year old godson.

Speaking of my godson, that hungry Caterpillar is his creation,

I must point out as the proud godmother!

There is just never enough time for everything we wish to do in one day...

I would of loved for more time with them....

It all went so quickly....
