The very first camping trip was at Cloudland Canyon State Park. It was totally beautiful. We had planned on going when my mother was feeling better, but she passed away before we could go. We waited a few months after the funeral and chose to go anyway. She would have wanted that, and would have really loved the place. We felt like she was there in spirit with us the first trip we went on. She loved hiking and she loved camping. None of could remember her campfire scary stories, but we had some fun anyway. I had dug my cameras out of storage and put them to work! She was notorious for having a disposable camera with her everywhere she went.
I personally feel closer to my mother doing the things that she loved doing. I will not use disposable camera, but I plan on using film cameras along with the digital camera. I hope she is happy and not in pain any longer.
I am sure your Mom would have wanted you to take this trip.
Sorry for your loss.
Lovely post Leslie!
You know she was with you! I wouldve done the same. In fact, when my dad passed, I was having a hard time answering the phones and talking to people that stopped by to offer condolences so I took a week canoe trip, just me and my sons. I could tell he was with us as well.
It does help to remember those loved ones doing what they loved to do! Thank you
Thank you, it is always nice doing the things that loved ones loved doing. Makes you feel closer to them.
So nice post
Thank you
