Enlightening Weekend
A few weekends ago I visited my Grandmother. She is a widow. Part of the reason for going up there was remembering my past grandfather. She was hit pretty hard by his death in march. She had to learn some stuff she wasn’t used to, but she got through. I knew it was important for my family and I to go visit her during this time.
While there, I met up with some other relatives. Surprisingly, I actually enjoyed myself. Usually when it comes to family gatherings, I’m a loner. But I got to listening to my older relatives stories. They were all humorous and intersting. My uncle Dan enlightened me of my grandfather’s and his brother’s past. It was interesting to hear all that he had done. He was truly a good man. He was a writer and has had many things published. Maybe I’ll take up writing as a hobby someday, but definitely not as an occupation.
Overall, that weekend was very enlightening. I felt like it was worth it–like I learned something. Even though what I learned wasn’t necessary, it was intersting nonetheless. I now look foward to gatherings like that. Learning is a great reason to visit someone or going someplace. Maybe we should make everything a learning experience, even simple pleasures.
