I always enjoy your writing, brings back memories for me too. I loved watching you grow and being your mom. I'm very surprised you didn't mention your travels to see Thaddeus White in the summers! A very nice and smart family who nurtured a friendship between you two. My memorable travels were to Montgomery Alabama in the summers with my parents. There were back roads where we passed tin roofed shacks, then along came the "super highways" that my dad marveled at. Folding maps and big ass Atlas. Going through areas where you couldn't pick up radio stations. NA related travels to conventions were some of my most enjoyable, a feeling of belonging to something bigger than myself, spiritual in nature with concrete outcomes. Now, I love traveling anywhere any of my children are because I love them and miss them so much. Often, I think of them and weep.
