We spent a week at the Jersey Shore soaking up the sea and sun. It was such a treat to spend so much time with my sister, Kati, and her family. We stayed in a house on Sea Isle. We were there over 4th of July and on our last night we all sat on the beach and watched as fireworks went off all around us. The kids danced and shrieked with delight. It was a once in a lifetime moment, to be certain. I spent a lot of time during the trip remembering my mom, and how much she loved the shore. She would take us there as kids quite a bit. That night, as the fireworks exploded in the night sky, I thought about Mom, and how happy she must be looking down on all of us together.
