Monna Ruskauff and her husband, Ron, recently celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary, so the history of laughter and tears in their home goes way back. Sitting with her hand resting on her little white dog, Monna was shy about being featured on Bright Ideas. Still, she couldn’t resist talking about their children … and grandchildren … and great-grandchildren: “First we were blessed with our daughter, Susan. Then, in 1966, we adopted twin boys. Our 3rd adopted child, Kevin, had special needs—but he’s fine now. When we learned about the Vietnamese Boat People through our church, Sisters Ly (Lee) and Xuan (Sue-Ann) came to live with us. Eventually, we also welcomed Ly and Xuan’s two brothers.” ***Thank you for letting Bright Ideas salute you, Monna and Ron, and your daughter, Susan, your adopted sons, and the courageous Vietnamese Boat Children who found their way to a good life in your home. Thank goodness … no, Thank God … for homes like yours … where hearts expand when unselfish love is needed.
Thank you for your loving contribution for humanity.
Exactly the type of caring & love we are put here on this earth for! what a loving example to follow … blessings to this lovely couple!
That just made my day even if it caused a little tear…happy tear! Thank you Monna & Ron for your BIG hearts. 💞
