If you followed the blog through the summer, you probably remember Even bad days sometimes end well. Knowing that this is the day that Rich passed out in the latter portion of the Presque Isle Half Marathon, I imagine you are thinking 'How can this be one of her favorite memories of the year'? And quite honestly, I wouldn't blame you for that.
While the incident itself isn't a highlight, it's an unforgettable moment in time.
There's much about the day I would just as soon forget, but it's Matt's reaction to his father's hospitalization that puts it on the list. He was concerned about his dad, he wanted to go to the hospital and spend time with him, he wanted to see that his daddy was ok.
Back then I wrote "Of all the images I have from the weekend, here's the one that I hope will always stick with me: Matt curled up in bed next to Rich, head on his shoulder and watching TV. Matt is still always affectionate with me, but not often with Rich and there was just something so sweet in that moment."
Even now, I can close my eyes and picture it. And it's still one of the sweetest moments I can recall.
