Notre-Dame, Summer 2015
Scotty took this heavenly photo of Notre-Dame during his post-graduation travels.
Notre-Dame, Winter 2018
In December, we wandered through the beloved cathedral, the five of us, and stared up in awe at the stained glass windows, seeing them for the first time through the eyes of our French daughter-in-law.
Notre-Dame, Spring 2019
Yesterday, Notre-Dame caught fire, its iconic spire toppled, and the world went into shock. Was it arson? Was it from the renovation underway? How did this happen? Will Notre-Dame burn to the ground? By a miracle, the 850-year-old structure was only partially destroyed. The pledges of money and vows of reconstruction ease some of the pain, but it will be a long time before Paris, and the rest of us, recover from what feels like not only losing a member of the family, but also a historic symbol of hope, faith and survival.
