fathers' promise

this Father's day is dedicated to all the fathers of FLAG


they made a promise to their girls to give them an education they never had


here they are helping to build our first library

working with flipflops

no fancy tools or protection - this is how it is back home







to all our supporters, YOU are making this happen!

although they will never meet you, I know they are grateful for all

the support you have given their daughters.

they are forever thankful!



Thank you for stopping by,



Hugs,


Monica

the move.


since I have lived here in Canada (25 years )

I moved 11 times..

this will be my 12th. and fingers crossed , might be the last one.

bye house! you were good to us!


my youngest is off to college ( tears *sniff**)



together with his older brother sharing an apartment together.


best friends for life


they will be fine. I know they will.


We are downsizing. simplifying. helping. Just LIVING.

Jon and the girls of FLAG



I am happy for the the boys.  Experience LIFE.







Make mistakes. Learn from them.



As for me, I have my own journey. Keep moving forward.


Can't wait for my next adventure.





The chapter continues.



Thank you for stopping by,
