Moving Forward with my Birthday and Reunion with Family
After 2 of the hardest weeks of my life back in St Louis to bury my mother and grieve with so many dear friends and family, I have returned to my wife and kids in Kosovo only to be surprised by a long bday weekend trip to Mavravo, Macedonia for a snow mountain weekend. As you can see Adi had his first ski lesson, first sledding, I spent half day boarding and we all hiked down a 1000m mountain top on new snow shoes we bought 5 years ago and have never been able to use. This was Adi's first real snow experience (age 5) and he loved every minute of it.
As hard and as unreal as the passing of my mom has been we are trying to pick up the pieces and to spend my bday exactly as she would have wanted to.
