I remember the first time I walked into the house we later purchased. The realtor opened the door, and I stepped into a room framed by a wall of windows overlooking calming waters.
Fireworks are a family tradition in our home. Every July 4th and New Year’s Eve, we make it a point to let our son enjoy the spectacle. Since his first show, he has been mesmerized with them. As a mother, I was mesmerized with his face watching the display. The dazzling lights, the crackle in the sky is one of those experiences that signal excitement, but this last trip did not go as planned.
