“As if it was yesterday.” A breath, then, “The last time all of us came here together, as a family.” I force a lump down my throat. Not only the last time we were all here together, but the last time I spent time at the beach with my mom. She didn’t want to come, but once in the water, I’d rarely seen her that happy. It’s not always easy to think of the positive moments I shared with my mother, but tonight, it kind of is.
