Oct 2021

I was really worried when going to a family reunion in Weatherford (between Ft.Worth & Dallas) and I was really worried about my relatives, because I know there are several branches that are so rural and poor, they were probably drumpfers. My favorite aunts were 94 and 92, and it would probably be my last time to see them so it was important to me to go. There wasn't much family from either of the country cousins sides and they kind of kept to themselves so that was great. Another of my cousins whose sisters I am close to was actually worried about me! Not long after he arrived I went up to him and his sisters. Brian was glad to see him and said I know we disagree on politics (Debbie had warned him to not talk to me about politics) but we are family so can we put that aside and just be cousins for today. It turned out to be a totally amazing day, so full of love!
