Memorial Day weekend has its significance but this year was more powerful than any other year. My Grandpa Karnowski passed away this year and he was a humble, quiet man who was devoted to his family and his very close friends. He was still serving a major role in an organization until the day he died. He was a war vet - WWII Navy - and this year the Memorial Day festivities celebrated his service. There were 5 families that were honored at this year's Memorial Day service and 2 of them were family friends of my dad growing up. The fighter jets flew over our memorial just as my own Grandma was receiving a plaque honoring her soldier.
We also celebrated the wedding of our close family friend - a cousin without sharing DNA - you know who those people are - and it was 90 degrees at an outdoor wedding. It was GORGEOUS! Morgan and Pat were both radiant and looked so happy together. What a great wedding!
In one weekend, we celebrated with newlyweds and also celebrated the honor and service of my late grandpa.
Family is everything :)
