Family

I am leaving this weekend to go to Minnesota for a week. My visit isn't under the best circumstances but I need to go. My Uncle has cancer and it is aggressive. I want to go and give him a hug and tell him I love him.

My parents, sisters and then my Mom's sister and brother and their families live in the same area. And I have always lived far away. It has been my own choice. But of course at times I really have been envious and felt left out.

And now this is one time I am really wishing I was closer but for different reasons. I wish I was closer so that I could be there for my Uncle, Aunt and cousin - to help them. But I am sending love, thoughts and prayers to them.
