My Family

In a matter of 1 hour I received news of an upcoming Family Reunion in my home state of Wisconsin and had my ticket booked.  I stopped to think for a moment how this would effect me financially, as I had to put it on my credit card, but it didn't matter.  I truly believe that my priorities are in the right order and I will reap many more benefits spending time with those I care about.  I haven't seen many since I had been really ill 10 years ago and our reunions seem to happen only at funerals.  I am so excited to go to the farm I have dear, yet, distance memories of from childhood.  I look forward to the laughs we will have, tears we will shed, and love we will share.  I also look forward to being around those people and places I shared with my father.  I know he will be with us in spirit as will the other family we have lost.  My love to all my family near and far!!!
