Last year around this time, my father and I were just getting back from our 16 day bicycle Henro Tour. One of the things that I had asked at each of the 88 temples, was for Kayo and I to be blessed with a baby. I told them that if that miracle would happen, we would be back to give our thanks. Well as you all know, on May 9th, 2006, our wonderful son, Isaac Don Bryan came into this world. So with my Mother and Father visiting to meet him, we thought it would be a perfect time to brush the dust off of the Henro Gear, and pay our respects back in Shikoku. No, we won't be able to go to all 88 this time, but as a family we start a new journey.
What wonderfull photos of your journey - henro(?)! How moving that you returned to the temples to give thanks for Isaac coming into the world! Blessings on you all.
Love,
Willa

I have a very big smile on my face and a warm heart as I remember each of you and times that we spent together and look forward to meeting Issac.
