A long overdue post ... We drove 12 hours to New York to attend my grandfather's funeral. You have to understand the significance as I haven't seen my mother's side of the family in over 15 years. It's amazing how much can happen in that length of time --- and sometimes it's hard to believe that the events that have happened did. For example ... some of my cousins who I haven't seen since they were Minnie's age (about three years) are now attending college! My aunts and uncles have a little bit more grey in their hair --- but they are still how I remembered them. My grandmother looked great and very spry with her dyed black hair closely cropped to her head. The only thing that indicated her age was a cane. She seemed very happy that we came, and I was very happy that she finally met Michael and her great-grandchildren.

I am fortunate and happy that I was able to spend some time with my New York relatives even if it took an event of this magnitude to make it happen. It reminds me that some things should not be taken for granted. Je serai de retour bientôt ... I will be back soon.


Sleep in heavenly peace.
