We pause before the end of another year to remember God’s precious gift to us, His Son! It is also the time to reminisce on the memories and blessings of 2012. My activities have been focused around work, family, and thankfulness for another year of good health.
I again participated in two 100 mile bike rides – the Tour de Cure in March and the Ride 4 Ronald in September – to raise money for two of my favorite charities, the American Diabetes Association and the Ronald McDonald House, respectively.
This year we suffered the loss of our 25 year-old nephew, Tarek Saleh. What a wonderful young man he was, and what a tragic loss! An inspiration to all of us and especially to his cousins, his memory will ever live in our hearts. Nichole had the privilege of travelling to Guyana, for the first time in many years, to spend some time with her mother and brother.
We are blessed to see our grandsons, Chris and Caleb, grow up. Christopher (almost 10) is now in 4th grade and Caleb (4) is overjoyed to be in “big boy” school, entering pre-kindergarten this summer. Nicholas remains busy with work at Florida Hospital Celebration Health and our daughter-in-law, Erin enjoys teaching her 3rd grade class at FLEC. Lilly, and her husband, Jason are still in Waco, Texas. Earlier this year Lilly joined The Law Offices of Vic Feazell, PC and Jason drew closer to completing his PhD at Baylor University when he successfully completed his comprehensive exams, with only his dissertation to be completed.
One major highlight of the year was when Nichole and I, in August 2012, joined thousands of alumni in Trinidad and Tobago to celebrate the 85th anniversary of the University of the Southern Caribbean (formerly CUC).
We wish you and your family the joys of the Christmas season and God’s richest blessings for 2013.
Love and Blessings,
Len and Nichole
