Life and Love

    It's interesting the things that make people come together.  The holidays are supposed to.
Weddings.  Births. Sickness.  Funerals.  When more than one of those coincide with each other, you have either joy, sadness or both.
  As a family, we have been through all of those, most of them joyous, but there is always the remembrance of the sad ones.  This year, our family comes together, not only for the holidays, but to gather around a loved one.  Plans get put on hold and changed.
 It makes me wonder why people wait for the last minute to gather around.  When, each day, anything can happen.
We should celebrate life daily, embrace it to the fullest.
We should love our family and our friends.
Above all, we should let them know that, and often.
