We got home on a Friday morning and on Saturday evening was Berkshire Nursing Families' (BNF) Trivia Night, my mom's big annual fundraiser. As the only child home, and a huge supporter of my mother and her cause, I decided I would make the trip back to Cheshire to volunteer at the event. The whole thing was a great success! Last year there were 17 tables and this year there were 28! They raised more than $20K and had lots of amazing donations from all over the community. People had a lot of fun, and for me its great to see everyone celebrating my mom and all of her hard work!
But, the ride there was very emotional for us. We took route 2 all the way, and when we hit the top of the mountain, we found ourselves surrounded by snow and ice. Huge snowplows could be seen clearing the road. Our initial impulse was to turn back, run! But the pull of my mother won out.
Thats pretty much when the denial set in...
Here are some pictures of BNF Trivia Night:
