When I left the hospital almost 17 years ago we ate at Gaido’s before leaving the Island. My mom, my dad, my step mom and a bunch of other people were in our dinner party. We were seated at a BIG round table so there must have been others. I can’t remember who all was there.<\/p>\n

I do know a terrible storm came in and my dad could not get my foot rests on correctly. It was quite the ordeal and when we finally made it inside, we were soaked.<\/p>\n

The food was amazing and I have always waned to go back.<\/p>\n

We finally went back. Our hostess was HORRIBLE to us and other parties. We almost left.<\/p>\n

I’m really happy we stayed. Our waiter was amazing and saved the day. The food was every bit as good as I remembered.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

We went with Traci and Dave to see the short film on the Great Storm. It was every bit as sad as I remember.<\/p>\n

They talked about a few gruesome details that I had forgotten about. The kids didn’t seem to notice.<\/p>\n

Traci and I were definitely grimacing, bracing ourselves for questions but the kids seemed to take the information at face value. It was a disaster and they did what they had to.<\/p>\n

She did mention that MAYBE it wasn’t the best film to watch just before closing on a house on the island. <\/p>\n

<\/a><\/a><\/p>\n

I also had the privilege of eating lunch with these two ladies.<\/p>\n

They were both on my therapy team nearly 17 years ago and I have not seen them since I left in October 1999.<\/p>\n

Sure, we are friends on Facebook, but that’s not the same as seeing someone face to face.<\/p>\n
