Generations and time


I gave myself a gift and reacquainted myself with my second cousin. If you look at our family tree, we are related by my grandma Krissman. We are Krissman's.

In years past I would spend summers in Utah, visiting my grandma. My favorite part of these visits was sleeping over at Dar's house. She was a bit older and bolder and a very talented ballet dancer. I adored her.

Come to find out I still do.

We both grew up, got married, had kids and life became busy. Twenty years had passed since we had spoken.

Facebook. Facebook brought us together. Like we were never apart. Face time video chat, instant messaging, texting and iPhones. How did we ever live without technology?

We are planning to attend her daughter Dani's wedding in December. All my girls will be going with me and my mom - GG.

The Krissman girls will be gathered to celebrate with Dani.

My mom, the last of the daughters, me, Mary Louise and Joanne, three of the four grand daughters (Judy is in Las Vegas) Cindy,Dar,Jillian and Amanda the great grand daughters (Jackie is in Vegas)and our new bride Dani is a great great grand daughter. If Lucy was coming we'd have that generation covered as well.
