Best Laid Plans: A Thriller
We set out to recreate the most epic family vacation ever, but some things are just never meant to be...
It's been fifteen long years since we were all able to clear our schedules and plan an extended family vacation. The kids have grown and several have children of their own. It feels way past time to make some new memories, and that's exactly what we set out to do.
Fate had other plans.
When an unexpected death claims one of our own, it only feels appropriate to honor his memory by proceeding with a vacation he was instrumental in organizing. It will be a chance to heal and celebrate his memory as a family, and that feels like exactly what he would have wanted us to do.
Fate always has other plans...
