| Keshni's last few days included parties! Keshni Govender came and stayed with us for 13 whole months. She came with the "Au Pair in America" program and she really became part of the family during that time. It was very sad for all of us as her time wound down and she had to leave. However, it's wonderful to think that we have such a good friend on the other side of the world! |
