It's Tuesday, y'all and I am linking up with some lovely ladies for my first Tell All Tuesday-a Weekly Summer Linky! Thanks Jayme from Teach, Talk Inspire and Diana from My Day in K for organizing this!
I LOVE Summer. After all, name a teacher who doesn't. Spending the summer with my little family I created is just perfect. We aren't a family who has the need to constantly stay busy with summer camp after camp and activity after activity. We seriously can stay at home all day and have a great day. We've spent this summer with the perfect mix of activities and lazy puzzle days at home. My kids are super easy going, go with the flow type kiddos.
With that being said, my summer flashback memory is to last summer. My mom and I brought my boys to Biloxi, MS. It isn't the prettiest "beach" but it's close to our house and we needed a quick getaway. My mom had just found out her cancer that she had just finished chemotherapy for had not gone away like we had hoped. We didn't know what her options would be and we were devastated. This beach trip saved us. We got away, cleared our minds and my mom had a blast. I flashback to this memory not to be sad but to be thankful that we went. My mom is currently taking a treatment once a month and is doing so good! I look forward to our next happy getaway under better circumstances. Just not this summer because I like my limbs and with all that nasty in the gulf, I'm staying put in Louisiana. :)

So sad how many people that breast cancer affects. My family carries the BRCA mutation. :( so cancer runs wild. Going over to check out your flashback now! :)
DeleteFamily trips are always fun! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that your Mom's treatments are going well. You can see in her photo how much she loves her grandchildren. I'm glad your Mom, you, and your boys got to make some memories. We've yet to have a beach day here. We live about 45 minutes from the ocean. Have a wonderful week making more summer memories!

Britney, thank you for sharing your summertime memory. I am so happy that your Mom's treatments are going well. It sounded like the getaway you all needed to clear your head and enjoy each other. I will keep her in my thoughts and hope that her treatments continue to go well and you will all be able to visit the beach one day soon! Thanks for sharing and linking up with us!
