Each and every second of this season brought one of these moments in our lives.  We are kind of glad to have the time pass, even though some were gentle moments while others were quite turmultous.  I dislike the ratio of emotions that we are called to endure through our earthly lives and look forward to having this time pass with more composure on my part.  But in a nutshell - this was our summer.  I'm sure I can think of more but this is what came to mind at this moment.
