Today began the first family reunion that I have attended which extends beyond the down-line of my own parents. This family reunion is basically adding his step-brother's down-line and late wife's maiden family as well. It is an interesting and richly diverse group of people. All of them are very nice, even!
In a way this is very interesting purely as an exploration of who I am actually connected to in this world, especially in ways that I could never have known otherwise. Though, it is also inspiring as a way of seeing how the world handles the folks that I would be in the different situations than my own. Solid, deep goodness is definitely prevalent and I am quite glad to be counted among them, even if more as a fringe benefactor.
Tomorrow I will get a bit more time to engage with my fine family relations before I have to return to my life largely apart from them. It already makes me look forward to the next time we are afforded the opportunity to reconnect in such a way again.
