We used to go to my parents at least once a year for their wedding anniversary but after dad and mom died the gathering stopped until my brother got the idea to have a family reunion at his house early in December every year. We have a very large family and those who can't make the trip are able to Skype of have a tele conference call with their sibling. I think it's a great way to join the party and speak to everyone. <br /><br />Bringing flowers on the grave is a thoughtful gesture.<br /><br />Have a great day.<br />JBJuliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03423754263165266554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-28666523548142641702015-12-07T08:46:09.336-06:002015-12-07T08:46:09.336-06:00Amazing the though processes during and after fami...Amazing the though processes during and after family gatherings. SAdly ours has deteriorated to funerals where I always say, "I am going to take time to visit family more", but seldom do.<br /><br />The picture says so much. I lean to Sherry's family, they always decorate graves, my family not so much. But I have talked to here sweet mama at the grave site many times during the 'decorating'.<br /><br />Good family entry, love it.jack69https://www.blogger.com/profile/12884137603402812926noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-72949672385656504652015-12-07T06:15:07.019-06:002015-12-07T06:15:07.019-06:00Family get togethers are wonderful.

Important to remember those we've loved and lost and it's important to pass on the memories of them to our families too.I'm mostly known as 'MA'https://www.blogger.com/profile/12107548726472541669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19517251.post-28389746923513617852015-12-07T05:33:48.727-06:002015-12-07T05:33:48.727-06:00I feel the same way after our family gets together...I feel the same way after our family gets together.... I wonder why we don't do it more often. I have to say I truly appreciate the time we do get together, even if they are few and far between...
