After a couple of years of not participating to family gatherings, we decided to go this time. My husband did not want to go but I told him that we don't know how long Dad will still be around and also for the children sake, we need to just deal with whatever made us stayed away.
We got to patch up things with the rest of the family. It's been really hard for me that we did not communicate with some of the family members because they are my only family here and I feel alone that we don't get to spend time with them.
I asked these guys to smile and they made these faces lol.
My sister-in-law Jill is doing okay now despite the chemo that she has been getting.
Dad was a little drunk when we got there but he is doing mighty fine for his age.
The siblings, Chris, Rick, and John.
I am glad that we did because the kids had so much fun. I hope that this could be the start of a smooth relationship between the families again.
