Just a thought to finish off the summer campout. Eight years ago, the family had another campout, but it was a little different tone. Eight years ago on August 5th, my mother passed away. She sent the family away to the campout and only a few stayed behind. She passed away while they were gone.
So, on Friday, I remembered my dear mother and missed her so much. She was the best at Spades. She loved the woods and taught us to be kind to each other, have fun in nature, and - above all- that our family is ultimately all that matters.
Love you Mom. Miss you.
I too have happy memories of camping and playing spades in the trailer. We are all luckier to have had Karen in our lives, and she is truly missed.
