Whenever I come East, there are at least two or three big family get togethers. This is not because I’m here for a few days. It’s because this is what my family does. They get together, they eat and they visit. They are, on the whole, a group of very interesting individuals who have been blessed with a lifetime together. OK, some might not use the word blessed in that last sentence, but I do.
I leave any family table I’ve shared with them with laughter on my lips and a smile in my soul.
I only hope the next generation has a chance to experience this same joy and insanity.
