Tom gets excited about a few things every year. Number one on his list is the family reunion. He tries so hard to get everyone together. He calls and calls everyone he can to make sure they know they are welcome at the reunion. It's very special to him and he starts preparing for it for months. He isn't in great health and he's quick to say "this may be my last reunion"....and this time he may be right. I've heard it before just like most of you. Unfortunately, he's had many more health issues this year and it gets scarier each time something happens.
I sincerely hope that petty disagreements between family members don't hamper attendance this year. We're all family! I advise everyone to be forgiving and to be tolerant of others. We don't all have to agree about everything but we should be big enough to realize that none of us are perfect.
