Mr and Mrs.

Well one of my younger cousins on my Dads side of the family got married yesterday.  Its just my Dad and his two sisters on his side (compared to my Mom's side where she has 3 sisters and 3 brothers) and we spend all of our holidays together along with spending a lot of time together at the cottages in the summer.  My cousin and her husband have been together for several years and hes a really nice guy, and has fit in so well with our family.

It was a wonderful day, beautiful weather (but a high of 31 Celsius in a non air conditioned church!).  We all got though the ceremony and most of the reception without tears but all of us cousins broke down when K ended her speech.  Our grandmother died in 2001 from Kidney Disease related issues, and left a huge hole in our family, she was a stay at home mother, then grandmother, at at one point or another all of us spent a year or two in part time care with her while our parents were working.   K mentioned that she wished that our grandmother could have been there, and hoped that she was watching from heaven.

I know we were very lucky to have her as long as we did, but its days like this that you miss her the most.
