On this day in 1911, my mother was born and on this same date in 1937, my parents eloped. They were so in love ending when Mom died in 2000 after her ten-year journey with Alzheimer’s disease. Two people dearly in love.
“The cure for anything is saltwater – tears, sweat, or the sea.”

“Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come.
You wait and watch and work: you don't give up.”
― Anne Lamott
