Today we went to a family reunion for my husband's mom's mom's side of the family. I just love that this family tradition has been kept going for somewhere around 70 or 80 years. It's a good thing to get together with people you're related to, even if you don't know them all that well. How else will you ever know where you come from?
This year it was harder than in years past to go to the reunion. There was someone noticeably absent. My father-in-law died in January of this year. Even though he was an in-law to this crew (as am I), he had been part of the "McDonald Family" for the 36 years he was married to my mother-in-law. He was a dear man and he is sorely missed.
Now playing in my head is "Broken Places," by Jars of Clay.
