June Family Weekend

Meg and Emma came to NY for a visit last weekend. Peg, Steph, Chris, Nikki and Kerri all came to our house for a visit. Nick is in ARMY bootcamp in Kentucky and was very much missed. We ate and drank and swam in the pool. We did a family craft - Tie die tee shirts. It was so fun! And the shirts came out amazingly beautiful. I always think about Pam during these special family times. How much fun she would have had! I thank Pam for the incredible sense of the importance of family that she passed on to her children. Steph and Chris clearly value family get togethers. I think there are lots of people,in their 20's, who would have done other things rather than spending time with family on a beautiful June weekend.
Pam is always with us in spirit when we are all together. We did a family photo to send to Nick to show him how much we miss him. Pam would have been crying with happiness that we were reaching out to her son.
Sometimes I marvel that our family has been able to keep going since we lost Pam. And then I think that is exactly what Pam would have wanted us to do - stay together, have fun and be there for each other. Thank you Pammie!
