We’ve been gone a week
visiting family
cold rainy drive south to Georgia
cold rainy drive north, back home to Maryland
perfect weather, really
It was our dear sister-in-law’s birthday
had she not died last spring
We traveled
to remember together
to feel together
to be together
Some celebrations are like this
Tony making his mama’s biscuits – a tradition, every time we visit
It's Tuesday and I'm participating in Slice of Life.
Thank you, Two Writing Teachers,
for creating this supportive community of teacher writers.
Maureen,
Yes, the weather does seem appropriate for such a trip. The mood, right? Love that photo of To y in the kitchen baking biscuits. That, too, is remembering and honoring.
The first thing I did when I got home was take a hot shower – I feel as if I have been cold and chilly for days, hahaha. It was a really good trip, though – much needed. Her death had surprised us all , last spring; this was a chance to be together and process. Plus – there were two new baby “grand niblings” lol, reminding us that life goes on and it is very precious.
