Highlight of Day 6...the Reynar family

On our way home from Edmonton today, we made a really important and wonderful stop. We visited Rod and Susan Reynar and family in Olds. They are an amazing family...warm, kind, hospitable, fun, inspiring. And Susan makes a mean pot of chili. Rod has been in bed for months, with severe pain, and no answers from doctors and specialists. It has been this way for him for years. It is very difficult to see a friend suffer. It is also inspiring to see a family cope with the suffering with hope, optimism, love, and care, embracing the visits and interruptions of friends, colleagues and family. We were very blessed by our visit. Thank you, Rod, Susan, Anika and Joya, for welcoming us into your home and lives. We are richer knowing you.
