Thailand Journal 2010 #13

My mama-in-law was laid to rest some hours ago. I’m really sad that I could not be there with all my family. They held up well. My wife, Vie, gave the eulogy; and our daughter, Natasha sang “Great is Thy Faithfulness,” (the same song she sang for her other grandmother two years ago). The 2.5-hour service was filled with tributes; and the interment was meaningful. We got a double vault in preparation for Daddy’s passing. He is 102.

Today was work as usual in Thailand. Great sunny day; so we got lots done on the farm. But, wow! The rains over the weekend flooded some of the farm. But it is as if the corn grew an extra 2 feet in the last few days! Possibly a highlight was eating mango sticky rice. Our driver, Panut, and his wife made it for us. Some of the team tasted durian for the first time as well.
