My Birthverse…

Deuteronomy 11:18 NIV
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads.

20 minutes long overdue

Ever since my mom died I reevaluated the way I view my relationships with with my family. I have never been one for many face to face visits. Growing up my family was very much me, my sister and my mom and my dad. Holidays and birthdays were spent with the 4 of us. And that sort of stopped when she passed. We started …I started doing my own things.

The extended family was kept to sadly funerals or weddings.

Though the past several months I have been emailing my one of my Aunts, on my dad’s side.

Just someone to talk to, someone that isn’t privy to the everyday goings of my life. Like a pen pal but someone that is blood.

After oh about, let’s see 9 years we finally saw each other in person. Boy, time really doesn’t change much because it felt as if I had just saw her and my cousin yesterday. It felt good to be around family and laugh and joke and see the resemblance that you don’t really notice until it is in your face.

Although the visit was only 20 minutes long it left me feeling more grounded if that makes any sense.

Of course promises were made to hangout more and not let close to a decade pass by before we see each other again.

Next weekend I tackle my Uncle…

There it goes…that Human feeling…called caring
