After 25 years of no contact, I was reunited with my maternal cousins in July. We miraculously reconnected on facebook. I was thrilled when they invited me to their annual family reunion in Indiana, especially since it coincided with my Ohio vacation. It was our first time meeting as adults. Introducing them to my children, and meeting theirs, was a surreal experience. I thought I’d never see any of them again, so this was truly an unexpected blessing and highlight of 2011!
Big hugs,
Robin

what a wonderful heartwarming story :)
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I'm glad you got to meet them as adults and enjoy the company of family.
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy you came to visit me and left a comment because it brought me to you and your wonderful place. I love your words! I just tried Zumba for the first time a couple of weeks ago and LOVED IT. "I work out" is my favorite line in the song. I look forward to reading and getting to know you through Reverb.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz! The best part about Reverb is getting to know so many interesting people. I'm so glad you've discovered Zumba! It's the best workout, and I love watching women light up in my classes. We have so much fun dancing together.
ReplyDeleteYeah, it meant a lot, especially since I'm an only child. :)
