I looked into the dining room from the deck. Eight little girls and two ladies were playing a card game. They were eager and enthusiastic. They were laughing and noisy. They were having the time of their life. They were cousins. Some live in Toronto and some live in San Antonio and some are about to live in Jackson, but last night they were loving the moment that they all came together to celebrate our 50th, and as an added benefit, they were playing with their cousins and two aunts. It was fun for all, but especially for me, to watch their beaming faces from the deck. It was a moment to cherish.
Tonight was the first of our weekend celebration. All went just as we planned. The food was wonderful, the music tasteful, the guests lively. I enjoyed the party and the people and so did the children. I am not sure why it was so important to try to bring friends and relatives together, but everyone seems grateful that we decided this celebration would be held in Nova Scotia, and that we would try to bring all our relatives and important people from our past lives together. But it was worth every bit of effort on our part when I see the pleasure in the faces. Now we will enjoy the rest of the weekend.
