Owen, Mila, and baby Hannah together for a brief time

Owen made a beautiful home for his new bride.  He completed all the immigration papers necessary for Mila to join him in the United States.  And then the pandemic struck.  Mila and Hannah are in Russia and cannot immigrate....not until the coronavirus is under control.

It breaks our hearts.  We cannot imagine how Owen and Mila feel.  We don’t even know how they get through each day while they’re apart.

They were finally able to meet in the Ukraine—the only country that would allow Owen to travel from the United States and that Mila and Hannah could fly to from Russia.

So for a very brief month the newlyweds we’re together with their precious baby.


We thought that Daddy was supposed to put the baby to sleep......




Hannah is snuggly warm in the little pink hat and matching sweater that I knitted for her very first Christmas.


And here she is wearing the birthday sweater that I lovingly made.






All too soon their time together was over.  Luckily sweet, innocent Hannah was still playful and happy as they packed their bags.  She didn’t know that she would soon have to say goodbye to her Papa.


We all need to stay healthy so a day can come when this happy young family can be together.


We long for the day that we can hug our new daughter-in-law and hold our youngest grandchild, see her smile, and rock her to sleep.
