Leitner's leave today for a week in Newport. We don't usually go to Newport but about this time every year we go to the beach. Meeting us there will be my 5 sisters, husbands, kids and my father. This trip used to be with my mother. She loved the beach and every year she would rent a couple of houses and we would gather in various combinations. I have only missed one year since I was born and that was the year John came home from Iraq.
We honor her memory now by keeping the tradition going. Our circle has grown quite a bit since she died - new births, weddings and such so it takes quite a few more houses to get us all in one place! *smile* I can't think of anyone better to be with on this day when we reflect on our relationships, and on the people who are impacted by our decision to test.
Hope everyone enjoys this Saturday off - and we will see you on the 15th when we return.
