365 Days of Gratitude - Day 144

A fantastic day with the Dutch relatives. We are feeling blessed for being able to spend time together.

It's interesting. With my parents immigrating to Canada in the 1950's my siblings and I never grew up having cousins, grandparents, aunts or uncles around. Well, periodically there were visits from this one or that, but day-to-day, or even annual interaction wasn't part of our lives.

But blood is thick. And family ties, no matter how far the geographical distance are still ties. I am grateful that even though we grew up on opposite sides of 'the pond' we were diligent in not only staying in contract, but in forging deep bonds and loving relationships.

Feeling grateful,
Louise
