Loooove.
I scanned and posted some old pictures last night. It was so much fun to look through them, and it's been even more fun to see everyone's comments on them. Tonight my dad came home from work and said "You've started a real virtual reunion, haven't you?" And that pretty much made my night. That's exactly what I was hoping for. I miss my extended family a lot, and since I haven't lived near my dad's side in sixteen years, I find myself reminiscing about the first ten years of my life a lot. I really, really don't ever want to live in Arizona again, but if I ever considered it, they would be why. As kids we spent a lot of time with my mom's side of the family, too, and I haven't seen them in a long time either, so it's been a lot of fun to see all our old pictures. I love my family.

I grew up with lots of family nearby too. That is why it is so hard for me to see my kids grow up without an extended family. They see their cousins so infrequently they don't even know their names. It just isn't right. I put some pictures of me and my cousins up one time and we had a blast making fun of our clothes, looks, and everything!
ReplyDeleteI know what you mean, Laura. My sisters and I have so many memories of family, but my brothers were so young that they don't even know who we're talking about sometimes when we mention family members. It's very sad, and that's why Mike and I are having such a hard time figuring out where we want to live, since our families live far apart.
