All the kids were at the High School Winter Ball.. so the parents were getting together to do some partying of our own .. &#8216;our&#8217;.. I say.. They included us.. which is so wonderful. This would have been Sam&#8217;s Senior ball.. who would he have gone with ? what would he have worn ? .. There are so many of these milestones.. driver&#8217;s licenses, proms, finals,.. everything.. so bittersweet.. yet folks keep bringing us in.. it&#8217;s sweet and sad.. and we wouldn&#8217;t have it any other way.
