Grateful

It is hard to believe that my “Little Clarissa” (who looks amazingly like her ‘Little Gracie), who couldn’t stay overnight at Shari’s house, is not LIVING on the East Coast.  That is as far away from Archer as you can get and still be in this country.  After 4 days of driving they arrived yesterday at Milford Massachusetts, which is very close to Boston.  What troopers they all were!

     We are so grateful that they have arrived safely.  That is lots of miles.  Speaking of Miles…he was sick the entire trip, which added to the adventure. 

      I am so grateful that because of membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints  there is a “ward family”  waiting for them. How comforting to a mother, and grandmother to know that.  The Saints in Milford don’t know yet how lucky they are to have the Meegan’s in their ward.  I hear it is a pretty small ward, so I am sure it won’t take long for Patrick and Clarissa to become very involved.  WE are sure there will be “best friends” for every one of them.

        I am just hoping that their next “Ward family” will be closer to home, and  I am secretly hoping that Clarissa will just come home before it gets dark, like she used to!!!
