Happy 4th of July!

"Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected now shines in the stream:
'Tis the star-spangled banner! Oh long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave!"

Excerpt from The Star Spangled Banner
Francis Scott Key 1814

Reflecting on the Weekend

I hope everyone had a wonderful Independence Day weekend! We had a great time going to the park in our area (Appropriately named "4th of July Park!") and watching fireworks with family and friends.
I couldn't help but wonder what Aydan would have thought of the fireworks. My nephew was there (he's the same age as Aydan would be), and he was terrified! I have a feeling that Aydan would have laughed right through them. He was such a brave little boy.
That reminds me that next month is SMA awareness month. I'm hoping, in the near future, I can team up with other parents and help raise funds in our area to help fight this horrible disease. Just like their motto says: "Awareness is the beginning of change!"
