My parents, sister and brother-in-law arrived on Sunday evening. We couldn't wait too long to tell them the news about our move to England because I was sure one of the kids would give it away.
So after they came in, we showed them around the house, sat them on the couch and gave them a box to open. Inside the box was the following poem.
We have a secret we've been wanting to tell
We've kept it quiet for two months now
In February we are moving many miles from here
At Fort Washington we will stay for a quarter of a year
From there, a new adventure on which we will embark
Our next stop will lead us to the house at Springhead Park
At Springhead Park House we will live for two years or more
After that, we will see where God will open the door.
So, where are you going? I hear you asking
Turn the page and you may be gasping!
Then I had them turn over the piece of paper. On the otherside was printed our new address with the word ENGLAND at the bottom.
Yes, they were very surprised, even shocked. It was well worth keeping the secret to see their faces.
