Silver Lining

Werner, Irma and baby Kaden.

The ice storm had a silver lining; we were able to spend some time together with Karin's parents before her father passed away. All of us stayed with my parents for about a week. Henry got really close to "Oma & Opa," which is grandma and grandpa in German. Henry started by trying to call them Irma and Werner, their first names, but that was too hard. Oma and Opa is what stuck. (That's what Karl and Kaden will call them.) Please keep Karin and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

Hi there - WHO has passed away? Somebody in Karins family obviously? So sorry! It sounds as if it´s Karins father.... Or maybe Karins grandfather.?

It was Karin's father.

So it happened pretty sudden I assume.
Yes, finally the princess is getting married, she is 32 and she has been together with this young man for 7 years. He owned a luxury training-place in Stockholm and it all started when he became Victorias persona coach. Well, he will now spend the rest of his life as supporting his wife. It´s a joy in Sweden anyway.
