Little Tiger

Hello world,

The days have been great since my last post.  Easter, arguably the best holiday, food, which often comes with holidays, getting some homework done and spending time with friends and family.

"Are you a hungry little tiger?" - Monika Klietsch.

Today's post is a tribute to Monika Klietsch.  Tied for the third best mother the Lord has blessed me with. Behind my mother Kitt (1), Grandma Hanson (2), Grandma Aakre (2), TJ Jones (2), and Lis VSP (3).
Mrs. Klietsch, Monika/Mom/German Mother, is an incredible woman.  Strong, intelligent, caring/loving are only a few of the adjectives used to describe her.  Chris and I are currently import kids 9 and 10.  She's been hosting Osnabrueck Tiger import football players since 2004.
Mother of 3 and grandmother of 2, she has a beautiful/loving and fun family. I witnessed this first hand over this past weekend when everyone at some point was home to visit over the holiday weekend.

I believe we live in an ugly and dark world, which we don't always "win."  But you'll never hear Monika complain about life.  In the late 90's, Michael, Mr. Klietsch/Dr./Papa/Dad, suffered from a brain bleed and now is paralyzed on his left side retiring him from his practice and to a wheel chair.  He's an incredible man and one posted at some point, I foresee, being attributed to him.  Mom has stuck with him since then and for many years before that as well.

She's incredible.  The world could use more Mrs. Klietschs.

Just a heads up to anyone interested... Michael has spent the last nights in the hospital.  Nothing has been found on CT Scans which is great news but the past couple days he hasn't been his strong self.  Reports from Monika is that all is well with Michael, he's cheery and talkative, but still the unknown and lack of communication with the Doctors to what is actually going on.

Grandma Hanson last week had a spell as well.  Thought of a minor heart attack was ruled out but what was is also still unknown to my knowledge.  So two prayer requests would be for Mr. Klietsch and my grandmother, Mary.

4 Weeks until our first division game.  It's go time...

Love to hear some questions.
