Today is a sad day for the Ostermann family.  Today we have to give up a part of our family.  Duke has been with us for a little over 3 years and is greatly loved by everyone in the family.  There were already tears this morning at the thought that today would be our last day to spend with him.  Olivia is especially upset about losing Duke because the two of them have a special bond.

Duke is going to a great family in Windthorst that already has a Weimaraner.  We know that he will be loved by his new family and will be well taken care of, but it doesn’t make it any easier to let him go.  We really hoped to be able to bring him with us to Uganda, but after visiting in November, we determined that it would not be a good idea for several reasons.  We need for him to go to a home with a yard because we have moved out of our house with a yard and there is no yard at Vicki’s parents home.

Today will be a sad day, but it is a necessary door for us to close so that we can open a new door in Uganda.  Please keep our family in your prayers as our kids have had to deal with leaving behind their house, many of their possessions and now their beloved Duke.
