Last year, the Bachman’s lost 6-year-old Caylyn to leukemia. In May, Tully and Cathy went with their 4-year-old son, Evan, to the beach for a week vacation. Their trip was what Cathy described in their journal as a “raincoat in a storm,” which came at a time when their family was grieving. Not only was this vacation a blessing, but it was an even greater gift because it was something they weren’t able to afford otherwise.
Cathy was happy to begin their beach trip on May 16, as it was her birthday. Throughout the week, they reconnected and grew closer with each moment spent together. Cathy and Tully appreciated watching their son’s childlike happiness flourish as he enjoyed himself in each activity. His joy rubbed off on his parents, which Cathy embraced when she says,
With early mornings and late nights, they packed in a dolphin cruise, a round of miniature golf, a baseball game, a massage and restaurants, all while filling spare moments with time at the beach.
