My hubby's uncle has a copy of an old recording of his grandfather...so my hubby's great grandfather singing one of these style songs about his love for his wife. And that old guitar that was brought over from Portugal and that that great grandfather used to sing with, is now passed down to our son...his great, great grandson.<br /><br />Blessings & Aloha!<br /><br />How sweet and awesome it is how the Lord works His love in and through us to those around us.Personalized Sketches and Sentimentshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10540064662050920859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-13275698923022613882010-07-01T15:15:04.534+01:002010-07-01T15:15:04.534+01:00Finally checking in after a long blogging hiatus. ...Finally checking in after a long blogging hiatus.

It was like a field trip. We spent every evening, weekend, holiday of that year soaking up American history. <br /><br />My dad, a second generation American, and my mom, a legal immigrant who gave up her country when she became an American citizen, wanted us to be American, even though we hardly lived here.<br /><br />I love America like no other place in the world, but I will always have a special place in my heart for Ecuador and the Azores.Marytoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08234537905380897920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-61823147631007212782010-06-30T18:12:32.076+01:002010-06-30T18:12:32.076+01:00Lets see... how does a Grandmother respond to this...Lets see... how does a Grandmother respond to this post.. one who is so proud of her daughter and son in law for doing what the Lord would have them do... but then her heart is breaking because she knows more likely than not her grandchildren will probably never come home to the states to live. <br />I hold on to that statement Brooklyn made the last time I was there.. she said she was coming back to the states to attend college. I have clean sheets on your bed Brooklyn!<br />Love all of you!

Trinity will have very special memories to cherish forever. It's ok if your kids are Portuguese-American! :) It's actually a good thing.Empty Arms Held Highhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11791436451455741388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-80952149569537238372010-06-30T00:38:13.789+01:002010-06-30T00:38:13.789+01:00Trinity is so cute!!!Trinity is so cute!!!Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04483264517830536055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-23759764136912085802010-06-29T22:26:01.509+01:002010-06-29T22:26:01.509+01:00Nina, that was beautifully put! and I popped in he...Nina, that was beautifully put! and I popped in here to see if you watched Portugal play their hearts out against Spain today!

I know what it's like to be torn between America and Croatia during a soccer game. My heart is also stirred when the Croatian anthem plays and "our" flag waves. The love we have for our second home surely only comes from God and only a missionary can understand it. When we hold this country and her people in such high esteem how can we help but love them. <br /><br />We're blessed Nina, we have three homes: American, our fields and a Heavenly home. <br /><br />Beautiful post!Tori Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00859488167015452608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3873703409588157947.post-22137618425699704652010-06-29T03:42:20.625+01:002010-06-29T03:42:20.625+01:00A beautiful post!
