What to do?

What to do . . . what to do. . .
Oh, by the way, guys . . . are you praying?

Last Tuesday (my day to be prayed for) was the worst day of the week. Things just went wrong and I don't know why. . . I was looking for some miracles :) and trials appeared. But you can't have miracles without trials, right? Well, miracles didn't happened on Tuesday, but strengthen my faith to looked to God for solutions.

Today is Kamil's day to be prayed for and his family is definitively on my mind. When I drive or have a minute of quiet time, I send a prayer for Kamil's family.

Knowing that someone is praying for me each week is like have a spiritual B-day once a week :)

OK, back to the wedding and the Czech trip.

I will be at the both events whenever, wherever.

Having mom here on her 60th B-day or in Czech is a simple matter of turf.

Here, our mom will not be in control, she will be in someone else's house and will feel she is not in charge. That is incredibly frustrating for her if we do things she does not agree with.

On the other hand, in Czech she will be "all that", but we will not always "put up" with her controlling ways, and that will also create problems.

I can foresee problems either way, but if she is in my house having "adult tantrum", I have nobody but my wife to console with. But in Czech we will have each other :) :)

THE GREATEST WISH my mom has always spoken of is a wish that ALL THE CHILDREN WOULD RETURN TO HER. We can't really do that. . . but to grant that wish for ONE WEEK. . .
- a thought from Zigi's Make a Wish Foundation :)

Eva's wedding is, of course, completely different occasion. I know, once our mom is here for the wedding and/or the Mitura's family, the potential of the word getting out about our trip increases. It can be one of the children or us. . .

On the other hand, an engagement lasting a year can be torturous. . . and I am sure Eva would like to have it in the summer, so it would be even longer wait if postponed after the trip. Anyway, the decision lays with Eva and Cassey and I am pledging my support to whatever outcome.

Last thought:
My greatest excitement was when I knew ALL OF US are going. If anyone backs down. . . it won't be the same. :(

I will talk to you later,

Zigi
