Going to Ecuador this week

The Ambassador and her husband are dedicating the new park at her residence to Mason. Mateo named it " Mason's Superstar Park". We spent a lot of time there playing when we lived in Ecuador- playing tennis, going in the pool and playing in the park. We will go to Ecuador on Tuesday to spend time with friends. Mateo will get to see his buddies from Cotopaxi. He is very excited about seeing them. Peace Corps will also be doing something special in honor of Mason as well. Kirk will come down on Thursday for the ceremonies on Friday.

It will be bittersweet for us all. We had such a good life there. Mason will sorely be missed. We will grieve with our friends there. It will provide some closure, if there can be closure for this.
