Family and friends are such a blessing.
I move around a lot. I feel like I leave people behind all the time. People I really really care about and are important to me.
Today, one of the people I care about, and had built a good friendship with, and who I now consider my cousin came down for the day. It is so awesome, that even though there are years between the times we have seen each other, we can catch up and build our friendship. I miss them, my family back home, but it was so good to see Laura today, and see where life has been going for her and them. They really are special.
And I learned an interesting story.
By great aunt. (grandfather's uncle's wife) had some courage. Her name was Ruth.
Way back in the 40's, she and a couple of her friends got into a car and drove up to Alaska. There were four of them. She stayed in Alaska, for the rest of her life. Just 4 girls. Drove up to Alaska. By themselves. Before anything existed in Alaska. I come from some sturdy stalk.
Here is a photo of the Alcan Highway in the 40's
