I'm not really blue and I'm not letting it get me down, it's just that the families were so big. Granted, nothing ever stays the same and we all grow older and leave our earthly bodies. It's just that I loved my husbands side of the family because of the size and it was always so much fun. Even though we may not have agreed on things, we agreed we liked being together. Now everyone is soooo spread out on his side and with the parents being gone, it's hard to stay close with everyday life getting in the way.

My side of the family was smaller and it wasn't near as fun or comforting to be together. Still, all my aunts and uncles are gone. Only a few cousins left, my mom and two brothers and that is pretty much it. Just kind of sad at times to know it will never again be like it was.

I don't let it get me down...I know life goes on, but it was sure fun while it lasted.
