Now as I sit on this cold and snowy January morning, our family looks like this:
Ahhh, but I digress....
another glorious holiday season has past and we were able to spend some cherished time with family. My folks pulled up in the driveway on Christmas Eve just in time to celebrate our tradition with the Geary clan. Before we could start our celebration, however, Dad had to unload the most MAGNIFICENT gift. It is a gift that took him hundreds of hours to create and has filled my heart with such gratitude and love that it is overflowing! How did this phenomenal piece of art come to be....you may ask. Well, for an art course my father is taking at the university, he created a lion (a traditional symbol of Ethiopia/the lion of Judah) holding a double sided flag. One side depicts the United States and the other Ethiopia. He created this masterpiece to symbolize the birth of Mekdes into our family. Every hammered piece of metal, every weld, every design nuance reminds me of how truly blessed I am to have such a loving and talented father.
