My son, Adam, and his family have been visiting this last week. It is the first time we have seen them since Christmas 2009. Adam was home for my niece, Briana's, funeral in February 2010, but otherwise we have been miles apart for far too long. Below is a slideshow of pictures set to music of the last few days. The cast of characters includes Adam, Sara Beth, Kallsen (6) Parker (5), Sarah, Dave, Davey (7), Derek (5) Jackson (3) Kara, Sam, Christopher (18) Amelia (13), her friend, Haley, my sister, Linda, brother-in-law, David, Tom, my dad and me.
Kara cut Adam's hair. They are twins. Adam gave Sarah, Kara and me head scratchers so when you see a picture of the three of us girls with things sticking out of our heads, that is what they are. We went to Music In Plymouth, the big 4th of July gala in our community, which was a spectacular night. And, we spent time with my 98 year old father. It was a happy week!
I love family. I love my family. To have the oldest member at 98, and the youngest member at 3, and everyone in between together was wonderful! My grandsons, Josh and Joseph, weren't able to be here and oh, how we missed them.
Adam, Sara Beth, Kallsen and Parker leave this morning to head back to South Carolina. Goodness gracious I am going to miss them! They are taking Amelia back with them for a ten day visit. Have fun Amelia!

My Dear Friend, what memories you and your family will have to cherish forever. Judy, thank you for sharing such precious family moments. I've said before that you are a "Special" individual. Everytime I read your blog, it reinforces that belief. One more thing, I bet theres a big void in your heart right now, God Bless You, hugsssss Bill

Hi Judy...So nice to see your family out enjoying themselves. Such a wonderful outcome to the past year!!
I will be thinking of you as you walk. There are so many names to be said. Leah who was 4 when diagnosed, my godson's elder daughter, today is cancer free. BUT..please say her name. Then there are my breast cancer-survivor friends: Pat, Shirean, Kenna, Mary, Colleen, and Doris.
Always there are names. Then there are those who are stars twinkling above us. If you run out of names, you can mention Norma, Phyllis, Carol, Don, Heidi, Al, Bob, Dale, Marie, Rex, Thora, Arden and Gladys.
I am so proud of you...may I say that?...for walking Judy! Walking with and for Sarah...and many more! Will be praying for you all!
With love from SC,
D
