My cousin, Neil, and I were close. We didn't see each other much. I got married young and moved away. In 1964 or 65 he got very sick and had to have brain surgery which left him paralyzed and without speech. His wife, Mitzi, was such a faithful caregiver until Neil passed away abt. 14 years ago. And, I hadn't seen her since.
So, you can guess that we had a lot of catching up to do!
I think that people don't make enough effort to stay in touch with those they care about. The reunion was easy and fun. I won't lose touch again.

Michael, Susan and Mitzi.
I got up this morning (I was already awake) when I heard a tiny whine outside my bedroom door.
It was Sadie, Michael's sweet little dog.
Michael had gone down to the marina to work a bit on his boat before it got too hot, so I guess Sadie got lonesome.
She hopped up on my bed and we just enjoyed the quiet, the stillness of the morning.
Such a peaceful time.
I cherish moments like that.
How wonderful! I am so happy you were able to see each other again! You are so right. People don't take the time to stay connected to each other. And what a precious little visitor for you to enjoy! Have a wonderful day!
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a happy reunion. Always amazing to me that we can go so long without seeing someone and then when do meet, it seems like so little time has passed.
ReplyDeleteSadie is adorable.
How nice to meet again. What a loving story of devotion you shared between your cousin and his wife.
ReplyDeleteWhat a cute little morning visitor!
Sadie is a doll! So good that you managed to catch up with this important part of your family.
ReplyDeleteI agree that it is so important to keep in contact with family and friends, Latane. It looked like you all had a nice reunion and you are sure now to keep in touch when you return home. You cousin Neil's wife, Mitzi, was certainly a devoted spouse.
ReplyDeleteIt is true that we let time go by too often. I havent seen my cousins for years. Thank you for visiting my blog at Small moments, it is good to meet new friends.
