This is my last day of fun,
Before back to work I go,
You know?
Vacation is over; They say,all good things come to an end,
Except for close family and true dear friends.
Speaking of Family, I heard from my Sisters, Mary Beth and Tara recently,
Mary Beth, via voice mail,
Tara by e-mail,
The other day,
And this morning spoke to M.B; I did not have much to say,
Nothing eventful happening with us, Darrell and I,
Still wanted to say hi,
And see how they all were, M.B, Todd and their two little girls, so cute and
small,
And though we don't talk much, they are Family after all.
Us 3 Hughes sister's were close growing up and when we reached Junior High,
things were not the same,
Did not play as many games
They had friends and dates,
So did not spend as much time together and communicate,
Especially, after I had moved out of state,
Went to college to pursue my degree, and they too,
Yet, stayed in touch some the years through.
And although, I don't have as much in common with Mary Beth as I do Tara and
closer is me and she
Us Three, Sister's we will always be.
So, I talk to them now and then,
On Birthday's and special occasions is usually when,
And other times as well,
Yet, you know-how it is, I get busy at the Hotel,
At work, and other things to do, housework, errands to run,
Other things fun,
Spending time with friends and online,
And like most of us, we lose track of time.
However, I need to stay in touch more, Precious is life and those in it,
and those in our circle, we share,
Love them unconditionally, and always care.
Despite, the fact, that we don't always get along and don't always keep in
touch,
I think it's very important to still stay in touch,
And we all are always there in the good times and the bad, when, it matters
the most,
Even though, I live here in the West, and all of them, on the east coast.
Family and friends are most important to me,
Not my job you see,
Yet, the people I am close too, I am sure, you agree.
Some folks, don't share the same views,
Tara recently shared with me some news,
Mom's Brother Walt and Aunt Margaret will be coming to New Hampshire,
As to when, not sure,
As I had said, in a previous KDD,
Mom's Family, I never did see,
Never met, Tara and me, her and I,
So, if they passed me on the street and said hi,
Wouldn't even know if we were related
Mary Beth had said,
She thinks, it will be at the end of this month think this is great,
Yet, wonder why it's been so long? Doesn't matter if they live out of state,
Or don't have much in common; one should not go without speaking to their
Family,
What do you think? do you agree?
It is interesting; I had mentioned them, a month or so ago,
You know?
Think of them all, from time to time,
Don't think it is fine
To have no contact at all there is no real good reason,
Not to at least chat on the phone, let time pass, the days,
weeks,months,years, the seasons,
Send a note or two, a year,
This all makes me sad, brings tears.
That at least 40 years have passed, maybe 50, before Mom, her sisters and
Brother have seen one another,
And that her Father and Mother,
Passed away before we were all born, and we have not met met any family
member, not a single one,
On her side, that is not something, I would have done.
I guess, Aunt Margaret, mom's Sister, her Niece, called and invited Mom to
Margaret's 77 th Birthday
Mom, did not have much to say,
And said, she couldn't make it, go,
Don't know what to think, you know?
Well I do, just don't want to say,
Just try and write about the positive things, each day.
This upsets me a lot, more then I can convey,
Yet, not going to allow, it, to ruin my day.
From what I understand, Aunt Margaret and Uncle Walt, will be taking time
to travel to New England,
Not sure , why Mom cannot travel to Michigan, don't understand,
Have ideas in my head as I write this,
You would think, her Family, she would miss?
So, since, I can not be there,
At least I can visit, share,
On the phone, and take time , to chat, and they, to get to know,
Just a little, though I can not go.
However, it has bothered me and hurt me over the years, that I don't know
them at all, like they don't exist,
So much, my sister's have missed,
And Mom and Dad too,
This, how can they do?
Okay, perhaps, I shouldn't say anymore, feelings here, shouldn't be
expressed
This is probably best.
Right now, don't have as much else to say,
Thinking about all of this today,
And much I said yesterday,,
In the KDD I did create
Plus, housework has been put on hold, it does wait,
For me to get done,
Then, I also want to read and swim, have fun,
Before, work I return, Tomorrow, August nine ,
Hope your all well, and everyone in your corner of the world is fine,
Take good care and stay well,
And will write tomorrow at the hotel.
