How lovely that you all were able to get together for a family reunion. Two years ago my mothers family reunion, after 60 years, disbanded due to lack of interest. I think that is so sad. There are so many cousins, relatives that don't really knwo each other and those ties need to be developed, not cut.

My sister and I are trying to get a reunion together with some cousins from one of my dad's brothers. There are 10 children in that family and 6 in mine. We visited lots as kids and have kept in contact somewhat. We've talked and are trying to get one together.

I think it's so important to hold on to family ties in this world. I hope all of your's were wonderful.
