the girls & the grandsons

This weekend my mom, my sister Amy & I, plus our boys, Josh & TJ, all went to a family party. We hadn't seen most of these family members since my grandfather died many years ago. My Uncle Dale was turning 80 & his 6 children were having a surprise birthday party for him. It had been so long since we had seen everyone that we thought it would be nice to go. I am so glad we did. The site of their faces made my heart happy. Just driving into Breezewood (the town where they used to live) brought tears to my eyes. My mom had only one sibling, a sister, named Jackie who passed away many years ago from cancer. I ADORED Jackie. She was a WONDERFUL aunt who was such a part of our lives. So many memories.........
