This is Sven, our Swiss exchange student. I think we were putting him on the plane to go home after living with us from ‘93-‘94. He sadly died in ‘96, but we all did fly over a couple of times to visit with him and his family in the intervening years, and have been back to see his dad.
We still miss our Sven-ie.
But life goes on, complete with ever so many changes since 1996. My heart will always hold my sweet, Swiss son in a special place. He loved, loved Mayberry. And us.
Good memories.
Share some hugs and smiles today with those you love.

How bittersweet. I have some friends who hosted foreign exchange students for decades. They absolutely loved it!
Hope you're cooler than we are here in south jawjah. Ack. big hugs xoxo
I think of him often too. I see my old car and looks like a pager on my side. That's a throw back! Let me know if you have or hear from Addie. My brodder, sadly not with us.
What a wonderful and sad story at the same time. I'm so happy he was able to get to know you and you got to know him. Such a sweet memore. I'm so sorry for your loss even though it's been so long. I'll make sure to hug my loved ones especially tight today.
Have a wonderful weekend! A big long hug to you,
Beate
How sad and so very young. You did a wonderful thing having him though. That's just how you roll.
Have a blessed day honey. Big hugs to you and tons of scritches to the babies. ♥♥♥
Bittersweet memories - but I hope the sweet ones are in the majority. Hugs!
