We had a tremendous get-together at Nora's house to say goodbye to Melissa's family. Melissa's husband Stephen, my grandson-in-law is a computer engineer. He got a very good job offer in North Carolina. They will have a great life in their new state. We will miss them being close by.
It will be a 5-hour drive from here. However, it won't be as far as when Kit lived in California.
It was an interesting drive to Nora's house with Kit in the driver's seat. While driving, she spoke to my two sons Jack and Charlie on her cell phone, while they were also in their cars. They told each other the distance they were from Nora's house, who was in their car, and what they had brought. These things didn't happen in my day. You had to get out of your car and find a pay phone to make a call. Things are much easier now.
The party was wonderful. There were 13 of us around the table. I gave the grace and told my family heaven can wait, as I am having a wonderful time enjoying my life with them.
I wrote Melissa's family a letter. There is a picture of Melissa and Stephen reading it with me looking on. My family enjoys my letters very much.
It was a great day. As with all great days, I went out like a light.
