A beautiful Fall weekend at home with visitors......it was a tad warm for early October however we enjoyed having 3 full days of Sun and warmth knowing that cold weather is just around the corner. Our friends, who are more family then friends really, came to visit us for the weekend with their daughter. It's strange now both having children........life has really flown by and you think of what your close friends and you have been through from College to your wedding to your first jobs and moving out of State.....then you think of things that you'd never in a million years do with a close friend...like pick out your Mother's dress that she would wear to her funeral..... Heartbreaking moments yet beautiful moments like sharing your daughter with your friends and continued memories during the Holidays and fun getaways on the weekends.......with having such a small family, we rely on our friends even more.....we hope they are a part of our lives until we grow old..........I watched my parents cherish their friendships and make them a priority.........I intend to do the same and I am so thankful my parents had good friends. People that cared about them and their family so much......they were lucky......and I know many of my parents friends were overwhelmed with sadness when they died......I will never forget at the viewing watching the hundreds and hundreds of people pile in to pay their respects to my parents.......it was overwhelming watching people's reactions......that was the hardest day of my life...........ugh..........Fall makes me miss my family even more-I know the Holidays are near.....and Mom and Dad always came down around Fall time.... and also missing all of my friends that live throughout the US....wishing I could share a nice Fall weekend with all of them too..........I miss you all.
