Family is the basis for true happiness

Visiting Mirae and Jolie last May in Columbus, OH

We love our family! It is so fun to visit with the grandchildren who live far away when we can, and to have family nearby so we can get to know them well and they can get to know us too. We try to visit with them as often as possible. Thank goodness for telephones and for blogs, and other means by which we can keep in touch with each other. Family events where we get together with extended family are less frequent

but very meaningful because they don’t happen so often and because we see our relatives from previous generations we used to spend a lot of time with. Now we and they have our own progeny to spend our time with so our ties, although strong as always, are less often revisited with activities together. Reunions are fun each year or few years, and it is always good to renew our relationship with our extended family members. We look forward to seeing them this coming summer!
