"I hope you don't mind that I put down in words...
how wonderful life is while you're in the world"

We went on a Firefly hike at Blandy with the delightful Arial Firebaugh, PhD. It brought back memories of when I won tix to see the Synchronous Fireflies at GSMNP. S loved that trip! This morning I traveled back in time in this diary via searching "fireflies" and watched a video of my son catching them when he was a tot. I'm glad I documented so many family memories, tho it's still somewhat painful.
