A quick and serious post.
I was reminded today that none of us know how many minutes we get in this life. My mom is from a big, loving family with 13 brothers and sisters. As a result, there are 44 first cousins. I have such wonderful, crazy memories from growing up when we would all get together. Really a special bond between all of the cousins. Getting older with families of our own we don't get together very often any more - but we always know we are family. Two years ago 126 of 265 family members attended a reunion - our picture is below.
I woke up to the news this morning that one of my cousins died unexpectedly yesterday. He was only in his 40's. He and his wife have 3 children and expanded their family with the addition of 3 foster children. A big heart that stopped much too soon.
Definitely a reminder to live in the moment and make the most of the minutes we are given.
Much love to everyone as we all do our best to enjoy the ride.
