: Hi everyone,
: Well.... its been a loooooong time since i've posted! how is everyone doing? I've lost the hardrive on my computer TWICE which hasn't helped much. Well... a lot has changed for me since the Gathering... as some of you know my grandpa wasn't doing so well when we all came down for the Gathering this past June. In August, my grandma passed on and just a few weeks after that my grandpa went too. And since i was one of the people who had to carry the casket... i cut my hair. Let me tell you... its been one hard summer this past year! But things are looking better and I'm still planning on being at the Gathering this June. I cant wait to see you all again!!!
: Take care
: Nathan
How could we ever forget you, Nathan? You, your father & your friend added a very special element to our Gathering last June, and we are all looking forward to seeing you again this year.
I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. Grandparents fill a very special place in our hearts, don't they? I was not lucky enough to know either of my grandfathers, but my maternal grandmother was one of my favorite people in the whole, wide world. I was blessed to have her around until just a few years ago, and she is remembered and missed often. (It's amazing how many of my sentences begin with, "As my grandmother used to say...") I know after you have come to terms with the loss, your own special memories of your grandparents will be treasured always.
See you in June...WITH as much hair as possible, PLEEEZE. ;o)
