on Apr 7th, 2008The family values tour
Ok, while this sounds like a Korn tribute post, it very much is not. It has nothing to do with any member or said band or the mock ‘value’ tour they have.
This is about actual family.
As mentioned previously - I traveled to my Grandmother’s memorial service this weekend. I got to see family, many of which I haven’t talked to in literal years. My Uncle Dan, crazy goofy man. Scott, the shortest man I know (he’s like 6′ 7″). I haven’t seen either of these guys since .. well, I think since my grandfather died nearly a decade ago. It was so nice to see them.
It is always at these times, sitting around smiling and joking, that I remember about the past. Family reunions and such. They always brought such joy. I was able to make the first reunion since I moved to Michigan this past summer, and it was so great.
Why am I posting about this?
Two reasons:
1) Because it’s my blog and I’ll post what I want to
2) Because I want to encourage people to spend as much time with family as they can. Because there may come a time when you won’t see them very often at all. And the next time you meet up it could be a shock at the changes (older!? Who gets older!?!?). Or it may be too late.
I hope I can see family more often. I miss them. As sappy as it sounds … I miss them.
