San came to visit last weekend. The weekend before that, my brother was here. It feels like such a gift to have them with me.
J came on a Friday morning and left on Tuesday - so I took Friday and Monday off from work to spend time. We visited the city, walking down cobblestone streets, visiting churches, and museums, eating pea soup and pancakes. We talked about his boys, about dad and mom, we rented bicycles and rode them through the rain and across my normal route to work. It was so nice and so sad to say goodbye.
San was only here a few days but they were also precious to me. Her brother came along and they shared my guest bedroom. I took them downtown on Saturday and then left them there early to head back home and meet up for Willem's mother's birthday. Afterwards, the group of us went to a concert - the composition of Willem's brother-in-law. San and her brother joined us and I had a small taste of being surrounded by family.
