What A Weekend!

Have you ever noticed that we get so busy with "life" that the only times we get a large amount of family together is for funerals? Well, it seems that way so part of my Mom's family decided that we were going to get together for a more fun gathering. Mom's cousin from Canada decided that he and his family were going to come for a visit so. . . . . . . . .a family reunion was planned. We have been reunioning with family from Canada, Oklahoma and several other places (they were the ones who traveled the furthest) and it has been great. Today almost everyone was at church and let me tell you, the singing on our side of the building was awesome. Mom would have been so happy to be there with her loved ones. She would have loved the singing. She also would have put lots and lots of pictures on her memory card on her camera! The weekend has been so much fun and we have shared so much and I can't believe how much we have talked about Mom because she was so special to everyone. But with all the wonderfulness of the weekend also comes the sadness of Mom not being here to celebrate with us. Overall, it was a good time.
