The following day DQ Times members gathered
one more time for a goodbye breakfast in the hotel. The mood was
bittersweet as all knew that their time together, at least for
now, had come to an end. Friendships had been renewed and new ones begun and their was an
almost desperate tone to the chatter as if everyone were trying
to say all that needed to be said in the short time that remained.
DQ Times member Rose Ross led everyone in a short prayer thanking
God for bringing everyone together and for the gift of this special
weekend. Afterward, Pam Hughes suggested that as many at the table
had not attended the beach party, that now might be a good time
to learn a bit about one another. So in between bites of breakfast,
everyone shared a bit of themselves- about their families, their
hobbies, their work and how they had found their way to the Dr
Quinn community.
Then, finally, it was time to leave. Between tearful goodbyes,
last minute photos and promises to see each other again,
one by one each person thanked Pam for a wonderful event and
headed for home carrying with them memories that would last
a lifetime.
