About Me
- DD
- I was born & raised in Vancouver, BC but now live in suburban Kirkland, WA. I love adventure although I seem to be more cautious since having kids. Scuba diving, sky diving, two safaris in Africa, backpacking Europe, soul-searching in Israel, and the list goes on, have all been in my distant past. Now, my life is about family and raising my kids to love God, love people and serve the world. I have got one talented husband, one angel child, one spirited child, and a large, supportive extended family. Life is good.

Old words that still touch my heart...
After what Johanna said to me about Madison tonight, it reminded me of this very touching moment...
A few days after my dad passed away (wow, almost 4 years ago), Madison saw me paralyzed with grief. I remember she looked me straight in the eyes and held my cheeks and said...
"I am so sorry, momma. Gung Gung is still with us. He was so good to everyone. And he loved everybody especially you. But it was his time to die. He was in the hospital too long. Sometimes it's sad but Gung Gung doesn't want you to be sad. I know it's very hard.
Momma, when you cry, I cry, too. I don't know why. When I see people cry, sometimes I cry too."
Madison was only 6 years old.

Teacher Compliments
Johanna, Madison's 5th grade teacher, said such wonderful things about Madison tonight. She even got teary-eyed talking about Madison.
Johanna said, "I know you must know this already about Madison. Madison has such a grounded moral compass and yet she is spunky & fun. I can trust that Madison will do what is right, even if she was in a closet by herself. I am Madison's biggest fan and I am going to miss her when she leaves."
She also said that Madison has a high EQ (emotional quotient) and is very generous.
THAT'S MY GIRL!
