Well, the week is over. And what a week it was! I won’t go into all the details, but all of the descendants of my mom and dad were here except for three who couldn’t make it. It was a lot of work, but well worth everything we put into it.
We renewed contact with those we haven’t seen for some time. We solidified even more our ties to one another and welcomed new members of the family. And of course, we ate. We ate, visited, ate some more, took in the sights (yes, there are indeed things to do in the Wichita area), and generally had a great time.
We also spent a few hours with some relatives on my mother’s side. We took our show to Hesston, Kansas and had a family worship service there along with a couple of uncles, a cousin, and other family members. If there was any time that was truly special and extraordinary, this was it.
So it’s done for another year. How many more of these we’ll be able to do is anyone’s guess. But we’re not getting younger, and some of us are getting downright geriatric. But we’ll continue until it just doesn’t work anymore and hope that the younger ones will take on the tradition of meeting together from time to time.
Thanks to all who made this past week possible. And thanks to all for the sacrifices, work, and effort.
