Memorial Day is a holiday that normally finds me home. I don’t know how you spent the day – BBQ, picnic, family, whatever – but I spend the day on an airplane coming home from El Salvador. This is my final installment in the journal of my recent trip.

Here is a photo posted on FaceBook from our get together last night with some of my dear friends from years ago. What a special treat to be able to spend some time with them. When you have a family type relationship with people, it doesn’t seem to matter how many years have past when you finally get together. It seems as though it was just yesterday you saw each other.

Thanks for your prayers for Hilary Mehl. Once I found out which hospital she was in, I discovered it was only a couple of minutes from Luis’ house where I was staying. So, we left a bit early for the airport so we could stop and check on her. Some of you might have received Kathy’s email report, but just let me say I was very encouraged. This condition, Ludwig’s Angina, is nothing to take lightly. However, it appears that progress was made overnight and the the current round of antibiotics is beginning to take effect. We had a very sweet visit with mom and daughter.

My plane touched down at KCI a little bit after 7:00 this evening. It’s great to be home. Even though my Memorial Day has been different, this is the day we set aside to honor those who have paid the ultimate sacrifice for our country. Here’s a great post from my friend Tina that I think you will find interesting and a fitting topic for this special day. Click here.
