Five years ago, Judy and I visited the Valley of the Gods in Utah with two close friends... and during our brief stay we drove up to Muley Point, overlooking Goosenecks State Park. The views there offered us a truly grand perspective, as if the distances were a framework to help us stay focused.
And, today, I am grateful for those memories... they are, for me, beacons at a testing time.
Nicholas
On the south rim of the Grand Canyon, on our first trip to the west 5 years ago, Nicholas knew that he wanted to move to the USA and he knew he wanted to become a US citizen. On this trip he was almost overwhelmed with a feeling of having found his way home.
In the early days of our love story, we wrote letters, every day. We did not have emails or texts, we actually exchanged letters, kind of like a diary that was addressed to a lover, a friend with whom we shared our deepest hopes and dreams. Sometimes in those letters he would refer to my pioneer spirit and when I see him here and think of the future we will share, exploring the glory of the America and her National Parks, her mountains and rivers and coastlines, I am filled with a sense of awe and a deep and abiding peace.
