Time with Family

What a way to begin the new year! My sisters and brother and I went to the funeral home to pay our respects to the family of our first cousin who passed away on Wednesday night. This was not a happy way to begin the year but a necessary one. Her daughters and granddaughter were having a difficult time coping which I can understand. The main thing I remember about our cousin was her love to talk and laugh. She called everyone "Honey", a very jovial soul she was.

After the visit with family, we decided to enjoy a meal at a nice steak house. Time spent with siblings is always a treat because we love to laugh and act lighthearted, especially the brother. He seldom seems to have too many serious thoughts; at least, he doesn't like to show a serious side. That makes his company enjoyed by most people who know him. I spent much of the afternoon with a niece who surprised me by wanting to buy my lunch. She is a very sweet young lady and a pretty one at that. Spending time with family is so enjoyable that I wish for you the same opportunities.
