Robyn: It was so good to see you and the youngest girls this summer at your parents' house -- we continue to pray for your family, and continue to be amazed at the strength that you (and Hanna) summon to face the daily challenges and the big adjustments. And yes, I'm jealous of your Morocco trip -- I know from first hand experience what a good host, guide and cultural resource Ryan can be! Blessings to all of you! Ellen

Dear Dr. Kittrell (Robyn), Hanna and family, it’s so nice to hear your heartfelt words again. You all have continued to be in my prayers. I’m so sorry for the loss of energy. It’s very hard to keep up the motivation on an everyday basis. You all are inspirational to us all. Thank you for this amazing inspiration. I’m so proud of all of you.
WOW, your trip to Morocco sounds awesome! You are so blessed to have your brother there. I’m so glad it took you to another world. It sounded glorious! I know it did you so much good.
It sounds like your trip to your parents in Michigan was good for all of you. I’m so glad for all of you.
Now the grind of a new school year is beginning. I know you will all rise to meet the challenges head on.
There are so many great things ahead for each and every one of you. You all can do this. You all are still my heroes.
Please take care of each other. God bless you all!
Gratefully,
Your Old Veteran Buddy,
Randy
