It was a great relaxing weekend
One filled with accomplishments of the leisure kind
Vacation plans discussed
Great home cooked meals enjoyed
Lively conversation to fill hours without finding a void or a lull in the bunch of words exchanged
This is the ease we seek in our human relationships
The ability to fill a room with nothing material and make it material
The energy combined in the discourse of people from different generations who have found common ground in this time and place
The desire to look forward with individuals because behind us is an immense history of mutual respect and genuine affection
The priceless advantage of seeing family as friends, making the connection all the more special
Finding time for the ones who add value to our days is a necessary inconvenience to our busy schedules
It reinvigorates our soul and allows us to match memories with irreplaceable laughter and tears
We are people who will always need people
If we are lucky and choose wisely, we will walk this road through trials, triumphs and tribulations
We will walk in the best of company
We will walk in the light of happy and trying days
But most importantly, even when distance keeps us apart, the ease of the walk is that we we will never walk alone
