I find it interesting that we never really permantly leave London and always feel like we have commitments there. Our lovely friend Aaron grew up and asked Gary to come back for the weekend and ordain him an Elder. We were delighted to come, but surprisingly over a short three day weekend Gary was asked to give two Priesthood blessings as well and we spent quite a bit of time at the hospital unexpectedly with a friend and ward member David Lawrence who died two days after we left of a Brain Tumor. It was an emotionally draining weekend. We were glad to be there for Aaron who we love like family, but it was hard to see other friends struggling with health and other issues. I don't know if we will ever be able to truly let go of London and our church family there. Leaving is always a huge let down and more and more we begin to wonder if we shouldn't just plan on a London retirement.
