We got to see my aunt who I haven’t seen in such a long time. It was a blessing to be able to spend some time with her. She is also my godmother. She came bearing gifts, not that she had to, but she did anyway. She had something for my new baby as well as a gorgeous screaming eagle native decoration to add to my collection.
We saw our friends, who we haven’t seen since around September of last year. It was great to see how much the kids have grown and to be able to hug flesh and blood instead of just talking on text messages.
We also had a great time with my mom and 2 sisters and the 4 kids between them. Finally got to meet my newest nephew on that side and see my godson who I missed the 2nd birthday of because we couldn’t get out of NY. We got to spend nearly the whole entire day together.
We were able to visit with our heart/home church Sunday morning and see people we haven’t seen in YEARS who remember my son from womb to 2 years old.
Main point being we got to see my dear father who will be 80 years old this coming September. I hope and pray he gets to see that birthday and the birth of his newest granddaughter. He is doing okay, but could be better.
I miss my family and friends. Even though I didn’t get to see everyone who I intended to see, it was great to finally see them. I haven’t been with that much of my family since June of last year. I got to see my dad, mom, and baby sister in September of last year when we were in Jersey the last time…but this was so special.
