I have a couple of threads that I will post about a family funeral that was over the weekend.

There were 37 family at  the  graveside service that I precided over.

All 4 of my adult  children were there and one five year old grand of ours.

I have been thinking about this snice getting home. My kids had different perception of family - They noticed quirks that we took for granted or  in most cases overlooked because we had known the family for so long.

Not even two years ago at my Mom's funeral her sisters said all kinds of wonderful things like how they thought of me as one of their own kids etc.  Which was nice to hear.

Two weeks ago three of my mom's sisters and her brother came to my town.   I was invited for supper and then the plans were vague.  They wanted to visit and go slotting.  I offered that they could stay at my house since they are from out of town.  They also wanted to visit my Mom's grave.
