    I found this video truly uplifting and inspiring. It delivers an important message that resonates with everyone. The video reminds us that even when our plans change, we can transform those experiences into valuable memories with the right mindset and attitude. I was struck by Violet's incredible resilience and I have great admiration for her. She has become a beloved figure in our household, and even my young daughters appreciate her. The video captivated my older daughter as well.

    Years ago we had planned to go glamping on the Homer spit and do some serious fishing with family from AK. Life changed and it never happened. Having seen your day trip, I hope I can still make that happen or at least some version of it.

Glad you could at least find several nice things to do all day while waiting, it would have been terrible to be in the middle of nowhere and wait that long.
