I am a beginner at the blog business but not as a customer of Kite Loft. My daughter turns 24 this month, and I bought her a Bird of Paradise kite to celebrate (also, she just got married). In August of 1984, Andrea started to visit Ocean City annually. Later, at 5 and beyond, she and I returned each year during the Week of the Firemen and began our pursuit of kites together. She has a patriotic delta, a snowflake in fluorescent colors, and a dragon. I have a hydrofoil, an orange diamond with endangered species, a blue diamond with a wolf, a penta with dolphins encircling, and one or two more. We've shared them, and mostly, we've loved them. I rarely come to O.C. due to health and money, but you have brought joy to my family and my life. An aside: Andrea's first grade teacher was married to and mother to engineers. Jean returned to school after raising her sons to teach. My daughter was part of her first year class. Jean taught forces, pushes, and pulls. She had her husband bring in a kite to fly outside for the kids as part of the lesson. Jean was phenomenal and memorable. When she died from cancer 5 years later, a kite was displayed at her funeral which was really a celebration of her life. Thank you for your important and special part in our lives.
