I just returned from possibly the best vacation of my life.
The memories I brought back will stay with me forever.
The trip began with the culmination of six months of planning for a big catered backyard BBQ for my mom’s 90th birthday. The tent was set, tables in place, the garden groomed, tribute table and wall of photos in place, and the buffet was laid out with everything from baby back ribs to lobster rolls.
Sixty friends and family gathered on a sunny New Hampshire afternoon to pay tribute to a woman who has provided a lifetime of care for those around her.
Guests came to the microphone to share their memories of how my mom touched their lives. Each story was a precious gift to my mom, my sisters and me.
