Over the years we've learned to cherish not only time of year, but the seasons of life ... weddings, births, graduations, birthdays, anniversaries, holidays and family reunions, and recognizing all the joy that our relatives and friends to bring in our lives when they gathered to celebrate. It is blessed by those events in life that make one realize how important your family and friends, and the value of making a special effort to spend the necessary time with loved ones, no matter how busy our lives are day to day activities.

We all celebrate family reunions and get togethers, if not in some formal way, but a way of gathering surrounded the event. In recent months, I personally experienced several "meetings" where the events in my life brought me to where I was reunited with relatives and family friends that I have not seen for many years and my kids never met.

and now my children are remembering their Uncle Kevin's wedding or a dinner along with his Great, Great Uncle Ray in Fresno, California. While one of these reunions were planned and revolves around a beautiful wedding in sunny Florida ... others just happened to fall into place as we had unexpectedly kid sporting event that took place in another part of California. When we had a spare moment we looked up Jeff's Great Uncle say that we were in the same city on the day. Although we have not seen Uncle Ray in 14 years, he fell only a few minutes notice to dinner with us and to 3 of our 4 children for the first time. Why? ... because that's what families do! They gather together to celebrate their common bonds of family.
