TGIF 10/22/2021 - Edition 20

Last weekend, my family was able to celebrate 75 years of life with my mother-in-law in California. With everything happening in the world, this was a big milestone that I hope to reach. It was great to reconnect with extended family that I hadn't seen in 2+ years and hear the journey of my mother-in-law from her birth to present day.

Life is short, embrace connecting with people you care for.
