The Seawall

     I recently picked up my mom and we had a mother/son afternoon. One of our main objectives for the afternoon was to put a box of greens at my grandparent's headstone. After that was done, we had a great seafood lunch and visited some spots from our past. The afternoon was a trip down memory lane. One of the places we stopped at was the seawall in Lordship (Stratford), Ct. The seawall is one of my favorite places. It's a special place for me. It was the last place that I was at with both of my grandparents 35 years ago. My grandmother passed away two days after our visit to the seawall and my grandfather passed away two months after that. They were both great people and passed away way too young. The Seawall......probably nothing special to most people, but, a very special place for me. I had a great afternoon with my mom and our trip down memory lane. I gotta do it more often, life is too short. Thanks for listening, Kevin.
