I'm sure you have noticed, the same as I have, that families are living further apart than we used to. I can remember, growing up, everyone gathering - at our grandparents - for Sunday dinner, special occasions, Christmas and Easter. Now our family lives all over this state (Minnesota), Texas, Wisconsin and Ohio. This makes seeing each other, let alone gathering together, much more difficult. It also makes sharing the memories more fun and funny.
Several of us were recently together to celebrate the life of a beloved family member. We all got to talking about memories and had some great laughter about how "dark and scary" a basement was, how BIG a dining room was and who got to sit at the "grownup"table. Especially when the description of what the basement and dining room were actually like was given. We all got a good laugh because we all remembered it the same way and were surprised by the reality. Then there was the difficulty of keeping up with all the various tech pieces. A watch got left here, a phone there, car keys over there and an iPad somewhere else. Most were found and able to travel when they should. Several will be arriving, in the mail, this week. AND all of these things will make for wonderful memories to share the next time we are all able to be around the same table again. Like I say...... you need to laugh or you will start screaming!!
