Our family, at my grandma's 60th birthday party.
This last weekend, we took a new family picture, 20 years later, at the same exact location. It is weird and comforting to see my family all together, laughing, and goofing and having a phenomenonal time. It was so freeing to avoid the present exchange and to just revel in one another's company. After all, we know that our time to do this could change at any time. My uncle and aunt are preparing to leave for Swaiziland in Jan. My heart continues to be expanded in the best ways possible as I have friends and family who continue to globetrot. I am so excited for the work that they are doing and the things that they are doing, so I can't be too selfish in wanting to have them near me.
