Family Fun Time...

I've been MIA for a while on this site. A lot has been going on over the past couple weeks. Now is not really a good time to get into everything, but right now my mom is visiting for a few days. Her aunt died a few months ago her cousin in Boston organized a memorial service today. I never really knew my aunt Eva, but she sounded like a wonderful person. Eva was the youngest and last survivor of seven siblings (including my grandfather), and I think she also had the strongest personality of a very tight family based on the stories shared today. I think the last time I saw my aunt was at my Bar Mitzvah back in 1993, and who knows when I saw her before then. I hardly know most of my mom's family , but I really did enjoy spending the day with my mom and her cousins much more than I thought I would.

Unfortunately, my mom is visiting at a very bad time, for so many reasons. Maybe I'll write more later, but with all that's going on right now (lots of work, but more personal), I really wish she was not visiting this weekend. I'm still enjoying her visit as much as possible, and I can't really control the circumstances surrounding the timing, so I guess it is what it is.

Sorry for the vagueness, but I think you are all smart enough to figure it out.
