Sometimes it seems like just yesterday, I would here her call out my name, wondering where I am. Twelve years later, here I am writing a blog on the day of her anniversary of her passing. Never in my wildest younger years, I thought I would lose my mom. All I have to say to you folks out there, don't take the time you have with your parents for granted.

Well soon after arriving at the campgrounds, everyone made it so incredibly amazing and fun, that I soon forgot (not forever though) about missing my family. I enjoyed my time there so much, I wanted to return every year.
