great anticipation and excitement. You clean
for weeks, organize every little detail, do your
shopping and pray it doesn't rain! And then . . .
The day finally comes! Hurrah! You're up at
o' dark thirty, doing those last little details
you may have overlooked . . . alas, you find
it almost anticlimatic!
But then, the family, friends, invites begin
arriving! And little by little, your excitement
begins to build once again. It is actually
happening! And, all seems to be going well.
The event is much enjoyed . . . along with
the babies crying, the odd broken dish and
the spilt punch. But the joy found is seeing
everyone, sharing a secret moment, having
a hug or two, laughing ad naseum . . . 'tis a
perfect day!
I'm not quite certain, but perhaps the after
memories are the best! You tell and re-tell
funny incidents. You remember the best
potato salad you ever tasted. You hope and
pray there's some chocolate cake left over.
And here's me, thanking the gods we can
all get together once a year . . .
seeing you at last
longing for you more often
love my family
