When we learned my dad would be in Rwanda for a day and half, we packed our bags and drove to Ruhengeri where he would be staying. Not knowing how long we would have together we prepared to spend the night in a guesthouse. My phone rang right when we arrived at the parking lot of Kanigi guesthouse at the foot of the vulcano's; home to the gorilla's. (the ones Diane Fossey worked with). It was my dad on the other end of the phone saying it would be better for us to stay in Kigali as he would have to leave very early in the morning. Surprised we had already arrived he quickly came to greet us.We had a wonderful time together. We ended up spending the night in Ruhengeri town just so we could have a few more hours together. Though short it was so nice to see my dad.
My dad (opa) had never seen his newest two granddaughters. They both warmed up to him quickly and opa had no problem falling in love with them.
Yaida having a great time with her very proud opa.
Zoey is definately an opa's girl. She made sure she got all her snuggles in.It had been over a year and half since we had last seen eachother, then for us to meet the day after Christmas was a special time. With Christmas music still playing in the back ground of the rstaurant we ate we all realized what a special blessing these precious hours together were.

Love MISS YOU! Michelle Corbin
Wat heerlijk dat je jullie heel eventjes je (schoon)vader en opa hebben kunnen zien. En wat zal opa blij zijn geweest dat hij toch nog heel eventjes zijn kleindochters heeft kunnen knuffelen.
Nu goed genieten van deze mooie herinnering.
Groetjes Mirjam ten Voorde
