  • Family Visit

         Due to the modern age families can be spread all over the United States which makes being all together more of a challenge. A short trip out of state was special due to the distance a cousin was coming from and the years of not seeing him allowed the family to gather in one place. It is interesting when family that lives under and hour together may not all gather much together for reasons. Yet, it is wonderful when there is a reason to.

         When gathered new memories are made as old ones renewed. The  next generation of young get to know each other more or meet each other since they were tots. Actually, many posts could be made out of the meeting but yet in what view? To share something funny could be at the expense of another. It is not worth the risk of offending another so near the time. After enough time passes when they can laugh at it themselves is when it can be shared.

         Yet, to gather for me was worth the expense and time. New memories made and old ones relived. Ones of my generation talked of when we were kids not able to imagine we would all get this age. Life has not been boring nor the members of my family!

         Yet, the ones who have passed on were missed. Yet, I look forward to that gathering of all in Heaven one day. What a glorious day that will be!!!
