MEMORY -
The sweet moments with my family come to mind when I think of dinner time, all of us gathered around the kitchen table, laughing and sharing stories. I fondly remember the times when my Grandma Jackie was still alive and after my brother had been born. The time when I felt our family was whole. We joked around a lot with each other, me to Christian, Dad to Pete, Mom to Dad, Dad to Grandma ..... we all entertained each other with each other. I miss that more than missing anyone individually. As a kid, you just don't know what you have until it's gone. Pete would completely agree.
APPLICATION -
This evening, we gathered at a Fondue place. Nancy and Jerome's son, Kim joined us for the fun. They are the cutest family ever. As I sat in my chair, with the feel of family in the air, I realized then how much the old DeLuca gang was missed. I thought to myself " My family dinners will never be the same as they once were again". For a second there, I was mourning the end to what HAD BEEN the end since 1995, the year Grandma passed. I shook the thought out of my head and continued enjoying the family around me, whether it was mine or not.
REFLECTION -
Family ...... I just love it.
