Life's a beach

So it's been a while since my last post, I know. I was sick for a month and barely made it out of bed for 3 weeks. Then it was off to the beach for our annual ladies only week with the family. As usual, we had an amazing time and it was great to relax and catch up on the family news. I had a moment when running on the beach one day and U2 came on my ipod. My thoughts turned right to Pat and I felt happy knowing that we had continued the beach tradition even without her. At first I wasn't sure if we should, but it's definitely what she would have wanted. I miss our talks, every few weeks, just to check in with each other and time for me to tell her all about my latest exploits as "Megan Bradshaw" as she deemed me in the last card of hers I kept. She was an important part of my life and I feel so lucky to have the scrapbook that she made for me so that I can look through it anytime I miss her. So a trip to the beach was well deserved and now it's back to work and the daily routine.
