A Transition and a Journey

Tonight we’re mourning the loss of PisecoDad’s Great-Aunt Emelia, who finally lost her long battle with scleroderma.

Aunt Mel was Gigi’s closest sister and best friend for all of her life, so the loss hits her especially hard. We are doing all we can to comfort her in this dark hour.

The passing has us scrambling to leave town right after breakfast tomorrow instead of a leisurely after-dinner drive up to the lake.  Fortunately we’d already planned to be in that part of the state for the next week.

At the same time that we are absorbing this transition, the kids are still excited about the journey and our lakeside, mostly-tourist-free week exploring the gentle world around us.

I will be internet-free until next Saturday, September 6th.  I’ll see you then!

My mom died of schleroderma too. :-( I am sorry for your loss, and I hope you and the kids thoroughly enjoy your time at the lake.

I’m sorry for your loss. Have a careful trip.
