3 months ago we had a last minute cancellation because the husband suddenly died. They had been coming here for a few years. This is one of the folks that really participates on FB and Pinterest with us. 2 nights ago the wife, their daughter and grandson came to stay with us because both Father's Day and what would have been the couple's 41st wedding anniversary was on Sunday. They wanted to spend the time together as a family and since the late husband loved staying with us and our area, they decided to bring some of his ashes to spread in the nearby ocean and spend the special day here where they had such great memories together. The wife told me that it was a special time for them (the 3 here) so they've decided to make it an annual stay for Father's Day.
It's these kind of moments that help wipe out the PITAs..
