Family
Today we had an early thanksgiving dinner at my Aunt Barb's house. My cousin who is in the military has been out of the country is back and we celebrated his return a little early because he is only home for so long. It was nice to see him. He and his girlfriend are expecting a baby in May. It was so nice seeing some family members that I haven't seen in a long time. It's odd how the older we get and more estabilshed in our daily routine that we neglect our duties in visiting with our family. I got to see aunts and cousins that I haven't seen in a long time for a number of reasons. It was nice to visit with them. It is odd to know that most of them I used to talk to on a daily/weekly basis and it's been a year or more since I've talked to a lot of them. When my grandparents passed away, I think it took away the 'togetherness' that the family once had. We had a common meeting place and that was nice. The foundation, I guess you could say was taken away and now the house is pretty shaky. But, I think that we'll get through and heal in time. Just seems to be taking longer than I had expected.
