Halcyon Repose

Family truly is important. I have friends that are not very close to their parents, and are even further removed from their extended family, and in a way that is very sad. I take that back, it is sad in almost all ways. They have their reasons for not keeping in touch, and to tell the truth, if I was in the same situation, I would probably do the same thing. Not everyone can have a wonderful family, but thankfully I do. I have a loving sister and parents, and all my aunts, uncles and cousins are great.

I truly enjoy spending time with them, and now that I can actually afford a plane ticket to pay them a visit from time to time, I am a much happier boy. My family is, and always will be, the balm for my soul. Sure there is the usual family politicking that goes on, but most of them are capable of putting all of that aside when the holidays come around. There really is a love that runs through my family and I am honored to be a part of it.

The only reason I bring all of this up is I just got back from visiting Newnan for my cousin’s wedding. It was a great trip, I got to visit everyone briefly, and I was able to see the beautiful bride on her wedding day. My only complaint is that it was all over with too quickly. It was a short weekend from the get go, but at least I now have something to look forward to come December.

For now I have some passable photos to remind me of this past weekend, and I have a new Photo Album link on the right side of the page that can take me there anytime I want. Feel free to look around, just remember to close the door behind you; we don’t want the cats to get out.
