It was a year that marked the change of many things within our little family, most notably of course was the loss of my only sister, my parents only daughter, my niece and nephew&#8217;s only Aunt. Trying to move on with life and reconcile our loss resulted in a little family trip to Disneyland in November of that year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Twelve years later the family returns. My first niece and nephew are now full blown teenagers, and we have new little ones, as well as new sister-in-laws that weren&#8217;t around on our first journey. It was also my parents 50th wedding anniversary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2957\" height=\"2957\" data-attachment-id=\"12206\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/mywalkabout.net\/?attachment_id=12206\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?fit=2957%2C2957&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2957,2957\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;iPhone 11 Pro&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;1573822054&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;6&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;25&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0.00033333333333333&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"IMG_3284-1\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?fit=640%2C640&amp;ssl=1\" src=\"https:\/\/i2.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?fit=940%2C940&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-12206\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?w=2957&amp;ssl=1 2957w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=300%2C300&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=1024%2C1024&amp;ssl=1 1024w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=150%2C150&amp;ssl=1 150w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=768%2C768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=1536%2C1536&amp;ssl=1 1536w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=2048%2C2048&amp;ssl=1 2048w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=1200%2C1200&amp;ssl=1 1200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=800%2C800&amp;ssl=1 800w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=400%2C400&amp;ssl=1 400w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=200%2C200&amp;ssl=1 200w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=684%2C684&amp;ssl=1 684w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?resize=336%2C336&amp;ssl=1 336w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mywalkabout.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/IMG_3284-1.jpg?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Sadness is a heavy bitch<\/strong> to try and shrug off of one&#8217;s shoulders.
