Family Day...

Have you ever watched someone, maybe it was a child with his or her parent-perhaps the entire family and just wondered how did they live? I mean, what would it be like to spend some time with them-really get to know the people and have conversations-laughter, emotions-with them. I am right now, at present, being allowed that opportunity. I sit in the midst of family, not my own, but possibly in time. Regardless, I have been offered the most precious opportunity to be at a family reunion and to become a member of this most insular club...if only for the weekend. It is funny, family is so much alike, I mean different families. They all have the same components-love, loyalty, laughter, lineage, and generations of people. That is family. This weekend, it has become clear to me that though they may differ in color, race, ethnicity...they are all one in the same. Humanity needs family. Thank you to the Creator, for opening my eyes to the commonality of the human family.
