Today I went to lunch with my cousins, uncles and grandparents for our birthdays. My cousin Wendy's is the 24th...my cousin Phil's the 25th...and mine the 29th.
My cousin Phil is the coolest guy I've ever known. He used to play drums in the band Gameface and now plays with a bunch of the guys who used to make up Save Ferris.
This is the first time I've seen my grandma in about a year and a half. She has alzhiemers now...and you can see it. She pretends to know everyone and says very little. When we were sitting at dinner and everyone wished everyone else a happy birthday, she turned to my grandpa and asked..."Is my birthday soon?" Who knew alzheimers could be cute.
I love my grandfather to death...and we sat and talked about fishing for about an hour. I've missed him tons.
I miss the tight knit family we had back in the day when Grandpa and grandma were the glue that held us together.
They still are.
