And night had fallen deeply on the third day. The cousins, the nephews, nieces, sisters, brother-in-laws had departed. The table where we gathered was now empty. And yet the linger of laughter and more still lingered. It had become a sacred space. Words.......hearts......new insights to old stories. There was a shared heartbeat. And a reminder....this is how we need to treat each other. With love, patience, respect and deep belly laughs. I am from an extraordinary bunch. A fractured family tree that has found its way to heal. Our roots were deeper than we knew, in ways we never expected.
