It has become a tradition for Z and I to enjoy a short trip down to Milwaukee, WI to visit with my uncle... also known as UB! He is such a generous man and would do anything for anyone.... especially his family. It has been so fun to look back on pictures and see everything that UB has been a part of in my life. Memories like high school graduations, weddings, crazy monopoly games, and even just a simple visit over a weekend to see a production that my mom is a part of. This weekend was special even if the traditional monopoly game was not played. It just was time where all of us could relax and enjoy each other. It was a little different this year as some family members are no longer with us or present, but it did not keep us from having a good time. We celebrated by going sailing on Lake Michigan, watching fireworks, and participating in the most amazing food in WI!
As we celebrated as a family I realized, once again, how precious the gift of family can be. How fortunate we are that we can get together. How some families celebrate without loved ones because they are currently in the service or have lost loved ones due to their duties. I just want to say thanks to the men and women that serve that allow this precious gift of time and family to be enjoyed by many...including me.
