This evening, Rob Susil passed away. He is at peace, God willing, and helping his dear wife, Gwyneth, through mind-numbing sorrow. I cannot imagine losing my husband so young. God only knows why good people are taken so young with growing families.
God rest the soul of Robert, and give His strength and comfort to Gwyneth and little William. Words fail me to express my condolences to them. Love and prayers surround you and lift you up.

Prayers, please.
Most of the people who read this blog already received an email from me or saw my FB post about the husband of a woman John and I went to college with. Gwyneth Weigel Susil has been updating her husband's blog which has chronicled his 2 year battle with a rare cancer. He's now in the hospital in very serious condition. So many people are praying for him, Gwyneth and their young son, William. Would you please pass this on to others for more prayers to storm Heaven? God bless Rob.

Catch up
The blog has been neglected for a couple of weeks. :( In a nutshell, John is back in school, I am super busy at work, and we just had our first guests at our house for respite care. Having M and A at the house for the weekend was a nice intro to our foster care lives. M was really sweet and since she doesn't know much English, the language of the 2 days was Spanish. I told M that my head hurt the first night because the gears in my head were so rusty. Spanish is her second language, Quich'e being the first.
We took the ferry to Seattle on Saturday and walked to Pike Place Market. She enjoyed the ferry ride and talked a lot more than I anticipated, which was great. At 5'2" I felt so tall around her! She's very petite, so John and I were like giants.
Sunday came and we all went to Mass. Little A did great for the hour in church. After a quick lunch, we headed to Tacoma to meet up with her foster family. Hopefully, she had a good weekend, because we loved having them. And hopefully, we'll get to see them next month.
I heard from our licensor tonight that there is the possibility that little ones from Haiti will be in the international foster care program. We are on CCS' available list. The kids of Haiti have been on my mind a lot, obviously, and I wanted to be able to do something to help them. Maybe this will be our way.
God bless the children who suffer.

A Campbell Christmas
Welcome to our Christmas home. We spent Christmas Eve at my parents' house in Port Orchard and went to Christmas Day Mass at our parish. Christmas Day was spent relaxing at our house. Before we went to the Campbells' house on Christmas night, we drove around to see the lights. One house in Bremerton had their house decked out in lights which were synchronized to music. On Boxing Day, John and I hosted our annual brunch for our parents and Joe and Miriam. We love doing that. Besides John getting sick, we had a really nice Christmas. Some of the other photos were taken at Jim and Sue's house on Christmas night.
New Year's Eve was spent with Tammy and Andrew in the Fremont neighborhood in Seattle at a Belgian restaurant called "Brouwers." Tammy is in school with John. We got home around 10:30 and had a quiet ringing in of 2010.
Happy New Year and all of God's blessings to you and your families!

The Psalter of my Days
My gosh, I remember this book. I remember sitting in the chapel at the formation center in Wakefield, RI trying to read the "original" (or not so original as we now know) Spanish text. Really and truly, I am grateful that I had a hard time those two years "getting into" Maciel's book of letters called "Envoy."
And I'm thankful that the visitation has been underway and is now nearing an end. Let's hope that many changes are made within LC/RC and that the ones who helped Maciel in his double life and subsequent cover up will be removed.
