Last night, while awaiting the arrival of my son, daughter in law and granddaughter, I kept myself ammused by googling family members I hadn't seen in years. I located my (fill in #) cousin... on my dad's side. We were always distant because of the religion thing.... and I haven't heard from that side of the family in literally decades. My dad's dad had a brother. When my grandfather and grandmother became Bible Students, their relationship changed, so there wasn't a lot of contact...though there were several time we got together that I remember. Anyway, I located my granfather's brother's grandson... We're cousins...but not sure the number.
Anyway, I emailed him last night and already got a reply. He's in Texas. He has to come to Boston on business soon...and we plan to get together. It's fun to catch up on decades of family news.... I was happy to tell him I'm no longer a JW.
My son and family arrived at 1:00 am...so they're resting now... My graddaughter is gorgeous! 'Course I wouldn't be biased now....would I?
