This weekend, my family was the epitome of what "Family Togetherness" represents........Support, encouragement, prayer, unconditional love, tears of joy, tears of sorrow, happiness, laughter, hugs, caresses, kisses on the cheek, grandparents, parents, uncles, aunts, cousins, second cousins, sisters, brothers, babies and little kids laughter filled this whole weekend.
The phrase, "The family that prays together, crys together" has a whole new meaning for me. My cousin's death, brought us together in a way, I haven't seen in a long time. Not since I was a kid...I mean, we always have get togethers and fun, but usually someone is leaving early or not showing up at all. But this weekend, the old "Family get together" feeling was there. It was 1:00am before anyone thought of leaving, board games were going, conversations in two different living rooms were happening, babies being passed around from family member to family member.....you could just stand back and watch my family love for each other flow throughout the house.
I hold my grandparents responsible for this. They laid the foundation down for us to understand what it is to be a "family" through ALL times....good or bad.
There is NOTHING like a family that love one another.....
