Such a great day
Easter Sunday and the extended family came together for lunch at our home. We had over 25 seated around the table in a scene reminiscent of the Godfather. Thank god for Ikea as I bought every black folding chair they had to seat us all!
All the family heads were there with our nephews, nieces, husbands, wives, girlfriends, friends and in laws. On reflection it was more like Jersey Shore than the Godfather.
The cousins played and the adults chatted. The insider did a great job pulling it all together but everyone did really put in to make it all happen. Great to see.
Table tennis, basket ball, some putting practice and board games extended into the afternoon. All good stuff.
Lunch lasted almost to dinner and then the insider and I slowly returned the home to some order.
It was the first time in as long as I can remember that we all came together. I think one of the benefits of illness is that it can bring people together.
Early to bed. A bit shattered but happy.

Serg,
I hope the reference to the Godfather and the Jersey Shore were compliments. 🙂
How u doin?
When you and the girls make it to NY later this year I will take you on a tour of the Jersey Shore hot spots and the real Godfather!
Be strong.
Keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers.
