My siblings are scattered from Tennessee to various parts of Ohio, but we try to get Together twice a year. Today our gathering was at Danny's and my home, a new Location. But I served our traditional red Beet eggs, Mom's specialty. And our conversation was Familiar as we reminisced about Our growing up years on the Farm. Seated around the table I Noticed our frailties. Some of us are battling cancer and Cognitive decline. We're all getting old. At 79, I'm the youngest. What happened? Life happened. And we bear the scars. But we are overcomers and Our spirits were merry to match the season. I wondered, "Will our group be intact Next year?" But I pushed the question aside. We had today. We celebrated today. |
