A WONDERFUL DAY

The day started out sorta gloomy, but I knew it would get brighter as the minuets ticked away. I knew what would be happening today. Cousins would be gathering at my home to get reacquainted with each other. It had been twenty plus years since we had seen one of them. Two of them had not seen the one in sixty years. Excitement filled the air.

The first to arrive on the scene was Anne and her husband , Perry. Anne and I had already met with each other before this day. Next came my sister Barbara. We had seen each other also. LOL
But Barbara had not seen Anne for quite some time. It was so nice to see them hug and mention how long it had been. Then came Richard and his brother Terrell. It had been a long time since Anne had seen Terrell. She saw Richard not long ago at my home. The one we were all really waiting to see was Wayne. None of us had seen him for a long, long time. He looked the same and just as handsome as ever. He came from North Georgia.

We talked about growing up. Roasted the family. Took pictures and laughed at ourselves and each other. What a wonderful day it was and the sun even came out.

Thank you Lord for this day and the pleasure it brought to each of us. We missed you, baby sister, Linda. She had to go to the dentist.
