My Hero

Uploaded: September 16, 2012

Description


After a succesful tripple by-pass operation, Leif is healing well.
This image was captured before the operation but he looks the same.
And just turned 72.

He's the bravest man I know - but very impatient :)

Thank you so much dear friends for all your kind words of comfort when we needed it the most.
I'll come visit in the next few days whenever I can.

Beautiful shot of Leif, Kiki. Somehow I did not know that he had been ill. With his strength and your deep devotion to him, I'm certain he will heal well and be stronger than ever! #10324876

We should all look so good in our 70's, Kiki!

I also didn't know about Leif's health problems, sorry to learn about them but very happy to hear he's on the improve. Tell me about men being "very impatient" when it has to do with anything medical, we've been going down that path for nearly 5 years now!! A great portrait of your hero=^..^= #10333365

Kirsten Kiki Kjaer September 23, 2012

Thanks so very much, Chris. #10333745

Well, I am finally here to wish Leif well on BP!! I hope each day brings signs of improvement. :)))

I've been sorting through photos of my Dads memorial and I loaded two more photo programs now so I am ready to make a picture. :)

My lap top goes back in the shop however, on Tuesday. Apparently all this scrambling of words is the mother board. :( So....it will be in the shop for about 5 days.

This is a wonderful shot of your dear Leif and our dear Brother in Law.

Please give him our best and a hug, too, if it doesn't hurt to hug, okay?

Love Dale and YVOSSSLaura xo #10358501
