The Family Reunion

It was beautiful!!! Treasure of the day: an old family picture of my grandmother's large family when she was young. Early 1900's - button up shoes, pinafores, and faces you could stare at for hours. The people it was such a treat to see: Cousins. They are wonderful relatives you share your childhood with, laughing and playing, simply loving them, and it sticks. Lovely people to talk to: relatives that remember your grandparents. They have stories to tell and precious pictures to see. New: A bond between brothers and sisters starting to grow, a way to honour the Memory of a dear Mother. Feelings: A little sadness, a lot of pride, and a delicate joy that seemed to be carried in the breeze. This is my family and I love them ! There just wasn't enough time.
