So, as most of you know, I was married to a very nice man named Mooraly from Malaysia. Our marriage didn't work very well, but thankfully we are still friends. And VERY thankfully, I am still friends with his very wonderful family, many of whom I have been fortunate to see during this week in Singapore and Malaysia.
These are Moo's aunt and uncle, Kamila Attay and Raja Mama. We went to a funky Indian restaurant located in a house that served amazing food on the traditional banana leaves.
This is their daughter, Gayatri, who I first met when she was 6, with her son, Ishaan. Both so dear -
And this is their son, Ganesh, who was 5 when I came on the scene, and his girlfriend Kristen on the left, and cousin Vaishnavi, whose room we borrowed (thanks, V!).
Valerie, sister-in-law, who my father will always love because she served macaroni and cheese and meatloaf when he visited Malaysia 25 years ago (not a food adventurer, my dad!). So good to see her!
Vaishnavi is a blue belt in Tae Kwon do!!
Darshini...a princess dancer!
Moo's mom and the boys.
Lovely sister-in-law, Shireen, who put us up and put up with us.
And Ravi, Moo's younger brother, and Shireen's husband.
I am very, very lucky.
On to Burma...

So sweet to see photos of you both with Moo's family - The temples of Burma are amazing - a sea of temples. Hope you had a great day yesterday John!!! Barb and I celebrated her and your birthdays yesterday after I came home from a 3-day meditation retreat. Big hugs to you both and much love from MN.
