The big kind - people who come from all over. Folks you haven't seen in ages. All arranged by a "beloved" extrovert who wants - almost demands - everyone to be happy!!
Sounds lovely to me. But then I’m from a family where divorce and separation and estrangement is too rampant. I do like family get togethers, even more as I get older and appreciate the heroes among us in every family.
I really only go to family reunions so my kids can be involved with the family. My social anxiety can hardly handle it lol but I just keep smiling and chatting so there’s that
I was hoping you would respond. I know you speak often and lovingly of your family so I knew you'd have something interesting - and possible humorous - to say.
My brother-in-law and you would've liked one another. You and he were alike - and (I can see it now, but not then) bless him (and you) for taking up that responsibility.
Just a hunch but other peoples' pets are attracted to you - right? I've found there's an inexplicable kinship animals and reserved people seem to have with one another.
I've never been married but have been out of contact with my extended family for years as they're all diehard Christians and I'm irreligious. I also have no contact with my younger sister whom I had to take to court over our mum's estate 2 yrs ago.
For me it is because I don't care about most of them to remember their names, so they say Hi and I say hi back, and my brain is like.. do I know this person? Should I know their name? Who the fk are they with? umm.. "lovely weather we are having eh".
