Christmas 2019
Dear Friends and Family,
We are sending you our Christmas greetings from Ann Arbor, MI, USA with a video e-card, which we posted on YouTube, here, and below. The text and photos also appear below. Best wishes for a Merry Christmas and Happy Holiday,

Chocolates We were just remembering scenes from Forrest Gump when the box of chocolates arrived, just days after you left us. The image of your gnarled hands working the iPad screen to ensure no one was forgotten for the holidays lingers; that was who you were giving before you gave your final breath. Grace sometimes travels through the mail in ways we may not see, but it arrives nonetheless. We cannot remove the ribbon yet and will save it for the gathering around a meal with others who come as we came to your home that first time and tasted of the life given away; you taught us that, and we will ever know which one we get. "… life was like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're gonna get." --Forrest Gump: A package from Alice arrived today, seven days after she passed I can say no more than this...
