The weather was cold and the reception was warm. It was good to be with family from both sides. Yet…it was difficult. (Not just the 2 days driving time each way.) It was hard to see my father in such poor health (5+ heart attacks will do that.) All my life he seemed like nothing ever got to him. One of our elders reminded me to “say everything I needed to say”, and I believe I have (to my father). But those words reminded me to connect with some other important people in my life and let them know how thankful I was for them. Relationships are our most valued treasures, and it is always good to be reminded of that. I am better for the trip, and hopefully others are as well.
Well, it is December in Houston, and I’m off today. (I need to mow the yard one more time!) Texas is my home, and I love living here. This is where I belong, and it is good to be “home”.
