Thank you the sloppy and Kodos.
As much as it was a tribute to her, it was me just reflecting getting older and moving up the hierarchy of family. Having kids 10+ years a part with the oldest in his late 20s with no kids (though that may be changing soon), I feel like others have already this experience. This trip found me sitting on the porch with my nephews and other members of his generation watching their kids playing in the yard. I was just doing that with her and my youngest son a few years ago.
