We talked about what the last year had brought to us.
A lot of really fun craziness had always taken place at Maris's birthday parties. So after a while we went in the back yard and lit some firecrackers in his honor.
We talked for a while longer. It was a sSunday night. But I was grateful beyonnd words that this gathering had taken place. Special thanks to Peter Carparrelli for organizing it.
You guys are all very precious to me. You were special to Maris, and so you are special to me too,
Thank you for being part of Maris's life.
See you all again next year!
