Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
What a wonderful, heart-warming story, Debi! I loved it and could almost feel I was there myself:)) Your evocative, descriptive detail of the location, the joy of being with your family, the laughter and the fun. Such amazing therapy for yourself as well, not having to cook and feeling secure and confident in their company. Most of all, these occasions bring a happiness and appreciation one can't always put into words. You did! Well done! Debbie xo PS Can I come next time?:))

Comment from Sally Law
I know firsthand what a miracle this is. I'm so glad you had such a wonderful time at the lake. We live on a lake so we vacation at the beach. LOL. A fun day or moment is appreciated these days and fill our emotional, spiritual tanks too. I agree with you about the sound of laughter. It's just the best. Thank you for sharing your vacation and family time, and caring GRANKIDS. Ours are the same way with me. We're so blessed!
Sending you and yours my very best today as always, my get well wishes & prayers, and my love.

It sounds like your grandchildren are really special and have been raised well. Family holidays are always exciting, I do look forward to when me and my brother go away with our parents. An excellent piece, Debi, I enjoyed reading it.

Comment from Nicki.B
Debi this really and truly brought tears to my eyes.
The importance of family is above all other things the most important.
The fact you got all your children and theirs together for a family vacation is absolutely fabulous. I could feel your anticipation and excitement.
I was very close to my Gran and I loved every minute of time I spent with her and it sparked up memories. (Wrote a poem about her called 'memories' on here!)
I'm sorry to hear of your lupus and hope that you have more good days than bad.
You sound like you are the rock of a wonderful family and you are loved beyond words and this was observed, I don't think you even had to be told that although it was obviously amazing to hear! But you deserve all the best care and love, you are a very special person.
I loved your story, it was written beautifully x

Comment from Aussie
Debi, you are doubly blessed. You relate your story/vacation through your eyes and so, we see it as you say it. How wonderful to have such treasured times. And the icing on the cake was the folks in the next cabin who took so much pleasure in being a part of your happiness. Glad you didn't get stuck in the tube. Hee, Hee, Debi the doughnut! :-) K XX

It sounds like an absolutely perfect vacation. Nothing beats a cabin on a lake and to have your whole family there is just fantastic. You are definitely blessed. Thanks for sharing this.
