When your niece, from Georgia, will be driving through the area from New York on her way home and plans to stop at the Lincoln Memorial to sing with the group you find a way (you hope) to go see her. Given that I have been sick for most of the month with a cold and (pick a thing), we weren’t sure until the day before that we would be able to get there.
Of course, it also decided to rain. However, the quality of light and colors change in rain. A few other walkers or runners also taking advantage of the calm lapped us as we slowly walked around the paths. Something about being around all of the memorials on Thanksgiving was particularly moving.
The rain meant my niece didn’t get to sing, but I loved that I was able to see her for a moment before they drove down the road towards home.
