I lost a dear friend today. The table Allan and I bought at a garage sale in FDL 16 years ago finally broke. We had it for Makennas first birthday. Played numerous games, had many dinners, laughs and cries at that table. It was one of those glass-top ones that come off (and it has many times). Used it for rummages, making pinatas, decorating cakes, hiding under...knocked off more times than I can count. I remember loading it in the van so many years ago and telling Allan it wouldnt last a month in our home (it was the first summer all the kids were around all the time...A LOT of kids) like it was yesterday. It mad it through all that, four moves, and a winter outside...it was invaluable this weekend and while cleaning up, Mikki thought she could move it herself and .... CRASH...we say goodbye. In my heart, though she feels bad, I think it is only just that she is the one who broke it...and thank God she did it at 17 and not when she little as I had feared.
