It is October 23rd and I have just finished writing the last of the trip journal entries. While specific memories have already started to fade; I will always recall, with great gratitude, that Margaret and two of our “children” were able to make this trip together and create a family memory. And, I am realizing, with our second son’s absence due to career obligations, that creating these memories with all the family will only become more challenging as time moves forward. We will have to make what we can, when we can.
The next trip is already starting to take shape in my mind’s eye… Chendu, Jiuzhai Gou, Tibet. 2009!
