I was just so excited to reconnect with two of my cousins this weekend. Judy and Theresa, along with their sister Karen, used to come visit often when we were all kids growing up. Aunt Rosie and Uncle Dave lived in Fort Wayne, and would come with the girls to visit for the weekend. We would double up bed space, which was always a commodity at our house. Sometimes we would go visit them in Fort Wayne. We were the "country" kids, and they were the "city" kids.
Now, we are all grown up. Judy and Theresa have grand children. Some of us have grand children too. (Rob and Larry.) It's good to see them, and to see their faces and learn about their lives. It's been a while.
But what is really fun is to think about back then. It is also fun to see pictures of us as we were back then. Life was different, if not better. We were young and full of life. We always had stories to tell each other. Uncle Dave was a great story/joke teller, and the girls learned some good ones from him. I even remember some of those jokes. We would always get into trouble at night, when the parents were playing cards and drinking beers, and we cousins would be giggling and talking instead of going to sleep.
It isn't quite the same as actually getting together and seeing each other again, reconnecting on Facebook that is. But, It is fun and I am thankful for the technology that may allow us for a follow up of a real family reunion.
