Friends For Life
My parents are on their yearly trip to Florida. They have been doing this for the past few years. After the holidays they pack up their camper and head south until early spring.
Up until this past weekend they have been down there by themselves. My Dad’s cousin and his wife are there with them now. They all enjoy camping together and very seldom do they go on trips without each other.
Not only are they family, but they are best friends. As teenagers in high school they would all double date and were always doing things together.
Here you see my Dad’s cousin Bill and his son Steve who was in my class in high school. He (Steve) is married to one of my very dear friends (Ginny, also a classmate).
This photo is of Darlena and her Mom. Her Mom passed away just a couple months after this photo was taken. They were very close and she is greatly missed.
This is my Cousin Steve’s (and Ginny’s) son Robby. He is close in age to my son Cade. He wears these glasses because he wishes he had glasses too (because Cade wears them).
As family’s go I can honestly say they are one of the closest. In this day and age it’s not the norm, but I am so thankful they have each other.
