I grew up in the Tri-Cities from 1973-1998. I didn’t realize how beautiful the weather was when I was there. When you are young you often take things for granted. I lived in the midwest for several years after that, during which time I became shockingly aware of how good I had it. I live in Canada now, and I am very happy. However, there will always be a piece of me that longs for those hot summer days with all that sunshine. I hope to visit at least one more time in my life.
