This weekend we spent a day with my husband's extended family. Several generations were represented by the 200+ crowd at the Rialto Teamster's Park. One thread that ran constant with those gathered was their loyalty and passion they had for their family. Seeing the memory tree holding pictures of all that have passed away was one such example. Even though this family has become part of my life through my husband, I really feel that they are my family, too. Seeing family staying together these days is a rarity, and it's refreshing to see that people still stick together through rough and unpredictable times. I'm looking forward to another reunion in September. This time, it's my father's side of the family. It will be smaller in number, but never the less a great time to be had by all who come. Some of my cousins that I haven't seen in five years will be there. There will be lots of reminiscing and catching up to do-- really looking forward to it!
