We're going to have a Wonderful 4th of July!!
Well, to explain this whole ordeal I have to start with the fact that March 9th 2003 my brother passed away. He had recently gotten approved for social security but they didn't pay him his full back pay and he was fighting it when he passed away. Turn the clock ahead over 5 yrs later and I get a check in my mailbox made out to me on behalf of my brother from social security. At the time of his funeral my one sister offered to pay the rest of the bill knowing that we should be getting this money back from social security and she'd get it back. So we had hoped we'd at least still get that much. Well, i get the check in the mail and it's enough for that plus about $1200. There are 4 of us sisters left. We all talked and decided that the camping trip we are all taking next weekend would be something my brother would have loved so why not use the money to pay for the campground in honor of him. We rent the whole campground and everyone there is part of our group...it sleeps 64 people....has 7 cabins and a big lodge. The cost is $450 for the 3 nights for all of us....so we have plenty to pay for that and have enough left over to split between the 4 of us to spend on gas and or food for the weekend. It'll be an awesome tribute to my brother and a time that most of our whole family will be there. It sounds like we'll only be missing 2 of my nephews. I'm so excited....my husband and I are thinking hard of something we can do with our share of the money or at least part of it to honor him. He loved his nieces and nephews so we were thinking maybe something extra special for all the kids there.
