My 40th Birthday Celebration
I was raised in North-East Pennsylvania with a large extended family living in New York City. Majority of holidays and special occasions, our immediate family packed up the car and traveled two hours from PA to NYC to attend.
Years go by and everyone’s life changes, older members of the family whom where the heart of these gatherings sadly pass away. The frequency of these events slowly diminished. After high school, I moved away to go to college, hardly ever making it back “home” for any of these gatherings. Then I got married and moved all the way across the country, never making it back for any of these events or even a nice visit.
Living in our RV and traveling I am finally getting an opportunity for a nice visit with my mom. She, along with my Aunt and Uncle planned a big family event during my visit. My 40th Birthday (and long overdue visit) became the special occasion. It was wonderful to see everyone and my heart swelled with love during the whole event. It meant so much to see each of you. ((Love, Hugs & Kisses)

How nice! My NJ family story is similar…we all got together every Sunday as a child…then you lose some family and everything changes…so so happy you got yo spend such a special event there with family!

Is there more to say than it was great to see everyone together. It was wonderful to visit with you. Seeing you and seeing all the cousins together keeps our families connected. Interestingly so does social media. We love keeping connected with you thru this blog. ❤❤
