Over Labor Day weekend, we are having a family gathering to celebrate my maternal grandmother's 88th birthday. She actually turned 88 in May, but my mother doesn't want to wait until her 90th. She said you just never know. It's true. There is nothing to indicate my grandmother won't be around in another couple of years, but you just don't know. I never complain about an excuse to gather with family!
We are getting together at my mom's house. She is basically handling everything with a little bit of help from her siblings. In discussions, I offered to put together some photo collages that could be displayed. Last evening I finally had the opportunity to sit down and go through my photos of the last 30 years. I'm hoping some other family members will be able to assist with older ones, but I've got what I've got. A couple of the photos made me sad for a variety of reasons. In many of the older photos, so many loved ones have passed away. Even in not-so-long-ago photos, seeing my kids so sweet and tiny made me a little sad. I love watching my kids grow into the people they are becoming, but I miss those little people.
I'm looking forward to getting this all together!
