Good while it lasted
My cousins in Mississippi and Alabama, Jeanne and Sue, took it upon themselves to plan a family reunion for this weekend in Homewood, Mississippi, their mother and father and my fathers birthplace. Lots of work went into it and hopes were high. Then one by one, circumstances arose and this one wasn’t coming, that one was sick, another just never responded. And so the reunion was cancelled, then revived with a remnant, then even that was cancelled today.
They said they wouldn’t plan another. It’s sad to live to witness the death of a family. Many I never knew except maybe a week or so my entire life when thankfully, our parents still took vacations to visit family, but no longer. We shall always remain strangers. Thank you Jeanne and Sue for trying.
