On the way home from Utah, I was thinking about my short trip and I told GG that it was a rich experience and there wasn't anything I regretted. I loved spending time with my mom's sisters at lunch listening them talk to each other and gleaning a little more knowledge about their family dynamics. I loved the time we had with GG's family and Boo being able to play with her cousins. I loved seeing family that I haven't seen for many years. I loved being in the same room with all my siblings. I loved the time we had. I wish it wasn't for a funeral but what greater gift can you give your grandfather than to have a sweet reunion of your posterity?
On the way home, I heard a Weird Al song (right?) "If I Was A Millionaire". At the end of the song he says "If I had a million dollars.... I'd be rich." Well, I don't have money but look at what I do have:
(All of my grandpa's grandchildren together for the VERY FIRST time ever!)
(All of my siblings together for the first time since 2006)
I may not have a million dollars...but I lots and lots of family, and I feel rich.
