The Tradition The Wades had a unique tradition: every spring

The Tradition The Wades had a unique tradition: every spring, when the river swelled with melting snow, they would wade into the water. It wasn’t just a matter of crossing to the other side; it was a sacred journey. The Wades believed that the river tested their courage, patience, and trust. Each family would wade into the river, hand in hand, and make their way across, regardless of the river’s strength.
