Some of you may remember us mentioning our trip to England a month ago. We were traveling to celebrate Dave's great aunt Kathleen's 100th birthday. Sadly, Kathleen passed away two weeks ago... but she did something many of us will never do... see 100. Dave and his father are in Weybridge right now. The funeral is tomorrow. It's a sad thing for the family to lose someone who has always been an amazing pillar of strength, wisdom, grace and a very subtle but razor-sharp wit. It's also sad that this will probably be the last trip Dave's father ever makes back to England, as he too is getting well on in years. I am sorry to not be at the funeral, but I'm glad I shared her 100th with her when we did. It's a simple reminder that once again, enjoy those things you love because we're not all going to live to see a century behind us. She did. If only we could all collect the amazing qualities Kathleen Horwood did in her lifetime. We will miss you.
