Recorder

                                                          
RECORDER .. This image was found on an SD card from a rescued camera. When I look at this photo I am thankful. On March 6,2008 our home had a fire from which Buddy and I were rescued  We lost the piano and the books. Yet what a lucky family we are! We have each other. We have opportunities. All of us were able to get the education we wished for. Images. See the three university graduates' photos? SJK is to the left of the lamp. She is completing her masters in creative writing. SMK is to the right. She is very artistic and is mastering tattooing. Next to her Mr.K, a CA, recently completed a two year masters in tax law degree at the age of 67. That's quite an achievement. He enjoys his work. He is the proprietor of his accounting practice and still provides for us. He loves going to his office. Buddy likes joining him because he gets his own room to keep himself busy and feel important and the clients greet him with respect. Many have watched Buddy's growth and admire his abilities. He reads and writes. He graduated too. He was one of the first intellectually challenged to be integrated into the regular school system to complete a special high school program. He worked at a local seniors' home until his health prevented it. More about that later. Remember. We are so fortunate Kleinste Motte.

  9. Sweet memories. It is always good to remember how blessed we are. How fortunate you and your family members were spared from something more horrific due to that fire. I loved hearing how Buddy enjoys his own office :-)
