We have just come back from picking up Sampi from Pearson International on her return from Italy. We are grateful to God for journey mercies. When things work so smoothly -( I mean her flight to Italy via London, the trips between Rome and Florence and now her flight back to Canada), there is the part of us humans to take things for granted. To put this in some perspective, no trip is entirely safe. You may have heard of how a leisure skii training in Montreal turned ghastly for a well liked movie actress earlier this week. Recently too we read of a chopper going down with passengers aboard some where in the north of Canada and the Turkish airliner that went down in The Netherlands just a few miles from Schiphol airport. Thank you heavenly father for bringing Sampi and the rest of her team back safely.
My baby girl is so tickled. I'd give her a couple of days to calm down and get over jet lag then this Diary will demand some stories from her trip.
Siya came in very late last night from Edmonton where she moved to on January 2 this year. She would be flying to Nigeria this weekend for the funeral of her father, my father-in-law who passed on Monday, March 9.
So much has been written of his academic accomplishments that as ode to him, this blog will have a full day dedicated to him in April after the funeral.
We are just one day away from the end of March break. It's gratifying that Danju and Papa say it's been so much fun for them. That's very heartwarming for me for as a daddy. In this era of kids always asking for more, it's sobering hearing my boys say this March break has been awesome.
It would be family night again tomorrow and I would amongst all that we would be doing, thank the kids for being such a lovely bunch.
Take care now and talk to you again tomorrow.
