What are trip is all about!
It has been some year for the Foley Family. Our lives were forever changed on March 16th this year, with the loss of my Dad. I have never experienced such a great and personal loss before, and am not looking forward to another, though unfortunately, time will bring more. We of course loved, respected, appreciated and just downright liked the heck out of my Dad while he was here, but it would have been hard to imagine and understand at the beginning the hole that his being gone would leave behind.
On February 11th of this year, my Mom and Dad celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary. We kids wanted to do something special for them. Mom had mentioned more than once wanting to see the ocean – so we decided we were going to send Mom and Dad on a trip somewhere coastal of their choice sometime late this summer as their Anniversary, and other misc. holidays gift this year.
It is very important to us that not only does Mom still get to go, but that we do something special in Dad’s memory and all have something positive to look forward to after this challenging year. If it was feasible – we would have all planned to go on this trip – but with the help of our cousin Diane, we got the ball rolling and planned this trip to California for Mom, myself and my sisters – Julie and Cathy.
