Meet the kids…
Deidra, Ashley and Jay-R
These two really had a great time the entire afternoon. A good part of it was spent laying flat on the water and letting the current carry them down stream. As I leaned on a rock, chillin in my space, they drifted by and invited me to join them. Now wasn’t that sweet!! I told them “No, I better not for fear of damming up the flow!”
I miss everyone in Portland who I’ve met and gotten close to. But I tell you, I miss these three as though they were my own children. I shed a tear or two the first time I looked at these photos when I returned home. For them to be young in age and meeting me for the first time, they showed more than cordial respect towards me. They let me know when I said or did something “cool” or to their liking. They shared whatever they had with me. They asked about my children and why they weren’t with me. They wanted me in the pictures with them. In other words it was like we already had a bond, we were simply re-united. I miss them so much…
