Retrospective: Snowbound

Why are the best moments the simplest?

After walking laughingly unsteadily through thick snow to a restaurant and snowball fighting on the way back, John and Jeanette saying The girls will remember this, always. And we all knew it was true.

And Mum's neighbour Barbara telling me about watching Fifi and Fafa from her window playing in the snow outside and how excited they were. It was lovely to see them. As if she were seeing something of her own childhood through the girls.

And Noi and the girls laughing excitedly at the hotel window as the snow fell outside, laughing at their own excitement and their own laughter, knowing what joy there was to come.

Kind of you to say so, but we more than benefited from those memories ourselves! Thanks for trusting us with them!
