August/Madison, part I
We had planned an August trip to Madison before my parents’ accident, so when the four (well, five, including Maddie) of us boarded the flight last week I couldn’t help but feel some sadness. To my happiness and surprise, though, there were relatively few tears on the trip; despite some hard moments (like a visit to the cemetery and the clearing out of some of their closets) we mostly enjoyed ourselves as we introduced Maddie to her namesake town and spent lots of fun time with Sandy and our cousins. Mom and Dad would be happy…
