Good job.<br />I like the intimate family reunions best, 'cause the big ones get me out of my comfort zone. I think there's a good reason for that and to try to go. We shouldn't be scared to talk to family, even if we don't know 'em.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10625491941413125086noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-49017976366276147502011-03-23T16:25:22.568-07:002011-03-23T16:25:22.568-07:00Thank you, Jean.

The friend said he got a good feeling about the outcome. That is good, and comforting, as well.Marsha Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15389060049107102815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31428247.post-57186190695623891602011-03-23T14:31:16.022-07:002011-03-23T14:31:16.022-07:00Beautifully written, Marsha.

There are always lots of hugs and hours of talking about the past and catching up on our lives in the present. It's an emotional time because it's just a short catch up with people that you love.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13949224380211690942noreply@blogger.com
