Choices of travel


Last week before this trip I got news my grandmother was not doing well. Originally my Father was supposed to come with us as he is the big Civil War buff and could guide us.:) With the news of my Grandmother he stayed behind and I had to make the choice of pushing on with Isiah or staying. It was one of the toughest choices i have had to make and was in the midst of probably the busiest work week of my year. My Aunt Bonnie then sent me a message telling me how during last years trip she would show photos of it to Grandma and she made the comment about how that was so great and traveling and seeing things is so important. She tried to do that with her kids. This made my mind up. It was still hard to leave on the trip and leave my dad behind as well. We continued on. Yesterday evening I wanted to go out in the battlefield and shoot sunset photos. I thought maybe Little Round Top but figured it would be just and that's easy shooting. Something made me go anyway. While up on Little Round Top...the most amazing sunset happened. And then I got the call Grandma passed. The rest of he sunset was lackluster except for those 15 or so minutes. I snapped photos with my good camera but unfortunately do not have any internet to load them up. Attached is the photo I took with my cellphone around the time she passed. I made the right choice to come and I was exactly where I was supposed to be. Grandma and Grandpa looking down and keeping us travelers safe. We are a family of travelers and we have the two best guardian angels ever now.
