A Detroit Tale

I spent mother's day weekend (which turned into a week) in Detroit with some friends. I had the most marvelous time. I was anxious to see this city which was being highlighted in the news every few seconds because of how bad the economy was there. While there was a lot of carnage from the closing of the auto plants, and worker being laid off by the thousands, there was still so much to appreciate about the one and only city of Detroit, the history, the generations represented in Janet's family, and having family and friends to be with during times like these. It was nice to be with my friend, her children, and her family celebrating mother's day. They just made the seriousness of it all not as bad as it could have been. It was a beautiful time! I hope that other families in Detroit are able to focus in on their own family members during hard times like these. There is a bit of relief in the love of family.

This video is of Aamir, Janet's son. He heard this song that week week, and he danced to it every time it came on. He was so happy to be around his family and it really came out every time music came on . He was enjoying himself immensely. Of everyone I think he enjoyed himself the most on this trip.
