That's awesome Suzanne! I remember my elementary school field trips to Wouldamar Nature Center in Lansing to watch the sugaring process. It was amazing to me.๐Ÿ˜

Sorry, had to go to bed early last night. Big drive ahead of me today up to northern Michigan. Yes you're right about to pros/cons. Mom was in and out of both worlds most of the time. When she passed, I was the only one in the room with her. I was her 1st born

I miss her every day still. Damn.......I wish I had more comforting words for you. ๐Ÿ’”. Just that I'm always here for you.

I'm so sorry. I watched mom go through the same (squamous cell cancer in her case) 15 years ago. At first they said "We will get this". She went through a few weeks of chemo and radiation but it was just too far advanced. The hardest thing was watching her deteriorating so quickly. A blessing maybe

A place called 'The Singing Bridge' on Saginaw Bay earlier today. If you listen carefully to the video you can hear the ice crackling just offshore.
