December? Really?

TODAY.....we had a sweet cookout with the family like we do every year in the summer but this year it had to be held off until September due to 3 busy ladies (Annie, Katie, and I). We all have a blast when we get together, we love each other, and we live in extremely close proximity with each other.

However, when we were saying goodbye for the night something hit me. My cousin was saying goodbye to us and let me give you some perspective of just how close we live to each other. Between us and that cousin and his family, there is a small field, a pecan grove, another medium size field, and their house. So literally we are right down the road from each other...as is the rest of our family.

So this is what he says when we are saying our goodbyes, "see you in December." Of course December as you know is Christmas time and we all also get together for that also. When he said this I flashback to Bosnia. In Bosnia, people visit each other, if you live an hour up in the villages and you have friends in town, the friends in town make a point to come and visit. I don't know, it is sad to me when people who are especially blood kin who live not even a half a mile away say see you in December.

Lets do the math, December is three months away, sadly, I fear, I really won't see my cousins whom I love in three months, and there is no expectancy of a visit between either of us. This is sad and I want it to change, I would like to change it.

All to God
