Friday night was wonderful. Absolutely wonderful. There really is no other way to describe it.
I had dinner & an awesome visit with some people I have known for my entire life, and who are like extended family to me. In addition to my Mom (in the centre above) and my brother, there were two couples who have been friends of my parents forever. As well, one couples children were there as well - kids who I love like siblings !!
It was a long time coming - that's for sure - but it was just like old times.
And I know my Dad was there in spirit, loving every minute of it.
