Missing Myrtle
It was a quick trip to Willmar yesterday - a family get together for the Nordeen clan. Homemade donuts and caramel rolls were consumed. While there is life after Myrtle, it's definitely not the same without her.
Families are like the universe, expanding all the time. If the "Big Bang" was the marriage for Grandma Julia and Grampa Ed, you watch the evolution over the years as waves and waves of new Nordeens are born, expanding out further and further away from the New London/Spicer/Willmar area. We may not have gone too far physically - most are still in Minnesota - but we don't see each other much anymore.
Self-pity aside, I could do my part to prolong life in the universe by scheduling get togethers more often.
