Connected with Cousins
Last night my son went with his cousins to an outdoor semi-formal dance. They had such a great time dancing and getting to know each other. After the dance, one of his cousins stayed overnight with us, and I noticed how relaxed their conversation with each other was as they reminisced about the previous evening’s fun at the dance.
Each year that passes, I gain a stronger conviction that spending time with immediate and extended family brings deeper meaning and purpose into our lives. I know my son will remember the evening he spent dancing with his cousins throughout the rest of his life. Friendships that are built and continually nourished will remain intact for life even if distance separates us; phone and email can always keep us connected with our family and loved ones.
