We hadn't been able to make it in about 9 years. It was great to see everyone and catch up with them.
Here's where I need your help: when I was growing up, there were a lot more people that would come to the reunions and we would do skits, events for the kids, etc. We would like some modern ideas to get people excited again. We have a year but any ideas would be welcome.
On another note, my heart is heavy for Scott Bartee, a guy that I went to high school with. He lost his wife yesterday at the tender age of 35 and is left with a hole in his heart and three small children. I received an email from a friend, Sherry, with a reminder to everyone. With her permission, here is what she said:
"For those of you that do
not.......please do not think that you are to young to be thinking about those
things and not think about it (that's exactly what I have done). You all know
that I work for an attorney and I see this almost daily wherein a family looses
a loved one and they don't have a Will, etc....or a family member gets sick and
they don't have a POA or Medical POA and are too sick to sign one. Don't wait
until a tragedy occurs to you or someone you love. Sit down....talk about these
things....get them done! Having all these things done and in order will prevent
your family and loved ones from going through difficult times having to deal
with it for you when they should be helping with your medical needs or grieving
for you."
Even with everything that I have gone through, I have not completed my will. I know, I'm bad. Even though my husband knows my wishes, I need to put it down on paper. Thank you Sherry for giving us this great reminder. You never know what's going to happen from one day to the next.
Love to all, I hope you are doing well.
