Home Again

First off, a big thank you to my flist for all the hugs and support.  I got back last night and luckily had today off to recover before work gets crazy with inventory this week.

I'm not really one to bore people with details of my life, but I wanted to express my gratitude and let everyone know that I'm okay.  I reconnected with cousins I haven't seen in awhile ::Hi Richie!:: and saw a couple siblings and nieces I haven't seen in a year.  It was everything you expect at a family gathering - tense, bittersweet, uncomfortable, wonderful, joyous, and gut-wrenchingly sad.  My cousin and sister made my littlest sister laugh at the cemetery.  Richie made all the cousins have a beer and agree to meet up again before the next funeral.  My nephew turned four, and we made it the happiest we could under the circumstances.  And I collected lots of photographic evidence that I do indeed have the cutest, sweetest, and smartest nieces alive.

Grandma - Give Grandpa a big hug for me.  I love you and will miss you.

Thanks for everything guys.

*Hugs* For all their aggravations, times like this remind you what's wonderful about family.
