I don't have a large family. I do go on a camping trip each year by the beach. Same group of friends for the past 50 plus years.
Most of our parents, who started the trip back in the mid 60s, are gone. This year my grandkids will be the first of the 4th generation.
We look back at all the good and not so good times over all that time. The point is we all have memories we share about those who are gone and some traditions they started and we try to pass them on.
It's our way of honoring all they tried to do for us.
And we will keep trying for the next generations as well.
