Reconeccting

So there was this family who used to live across the street and they moved a few years ago. Well they just recently heard about my big sister passing away and they came over today. It was kind of like ripping off a band-ad on my still healing wounds. Ow. We had to retell the story of her death and go through the apologies and the tears. Because Julia's death day was so recently if felt as if we were back to square one and it had been two weeks instead of two years. Well anyway the family had wanted to reconnect. I saw their now five year old daughter who was only a year old the last time I had seen her. She is beautiful and their little boy is so very handsome. Well my dad and the father of the family were talking about going on the bow hunt next year and my dad asked me if I was interested in going with them. I am totally ecstatic. I know it is a year away but I cannot wait to go get my hunter's license. Whoot whoot. Well the family was one of my favorites in the neighborhood and it is great to know that they are interested in getting to know us again.
Wow, it is so great when the opportunity to get to know someone again. It is so hard when someone you know and love moves out of your life and when you get the very rare chance to have them back in it again you must jump for it. I can't wait. When life gives you lemons you make lemonade.
