1 Year Ago

This morning when I woke up I couldn't help of remember what I was doing a year ago.

At 730 am I was rattled awake by the ringing phone. It was Ricky and Molly telling me that they were going to have a baby. Yes, I was shocked, but so excited!! (I was going to be an aunt...well, okay, really a cousin, but close enough!) Oh, how I miss the precious baby (and her parents too).

And then it was 4 hours later that my phone started ringing again while I was out to brunch celebrating with the family. It was Marcia. She was calling to let me know that Aaron's boat had rolled in the Bering Sea (the day before the crab season was to start) and he was missing at sea.

Now, 12 months later I have found myself living life to its fullest on a small rock off the coast of Alaska.
