Thanks all for the great vibes that you just despatched for Iva as we traveled final weekend to fulfill “R&R,” close to Lynchburg Virginia. The 4+ hour drive was a bit dicey as a result of it was raining the whole manner. 

However R&R and their son, daughter in legislation and granddaughter had been all there after we arrived, and so they couldn’t have been extra welcoming– Even having lunch ready and ready for us. I felt like I used to be sitting with pals as we ate lunch and talked about Iva and some other matter that got here up. They’re the actual deal; a sort, caring and an ideal household for Iva. They beloved her straight away, and Iva responded so properly to them, and was relaxed and comfy of their dwelling.
