just got back from several days ins california, visiting with my aunt and cousins. my uncle recently passed away.
it was a wonderful trip - so good to renew those time-tested relationships. it's been perhaps 7 years since i saw those fine folks. everything, and nothing, has changed.
a marriage
several deaths
a new life
a creeping illness
these are people i've known all my life - how good to walk among them again!
