The one family reunion I go to is Tess', and even that's probably going to be cancelled because the oldest generation - the planners, in other words - are dying off, and none of the younger ones seem inclined to keep it going. It's really odd to think that most of us probably have hundreds of quasi-relations running around, without even knowing it! <br /><br />What I've discovered, though, is that chosen family (for me, at least) is every bit as loving and caring, and the relationships are every bit as rewarding, as blood family. Roslyn probably won't know beans about her real blood cousins, but she'll grow up with the love of dozens of people she thinks of as Aunts and Uncles.Animalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14011608269211715910noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23166489.post-25010421028100179332009-04-20T19:52:00.000-05:002009-04-20T19:52:00.000-05:00yeah, i was going to say that you referred to Ann ...yeah, i was going to say that you referred to Ann incorrectly here...i think you meant to say your sister, right?<br /><br />LYLAS~ ha, that's old!<br />lydiaGeron Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03467501061156487410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23166489.post-29181797413693611862009-04-19T19:22:00.000-05:002009-04-19T19:22:00.000-05:00Little boys love their uncles.
