Last Family Photo 1997
Our family isn't perfect and it is true we have made many mistakes and we have hurt others. I know I have. But we need to learn forgiveness. Jesus taught us to forgive everyone. I am working on this teaching. I am not quite there yet but I am trying. Even those who don't believe in Him know that it is right to be forgiving and love one another. I just wish we could all put the past behind us and be a whole family once more without some family members feeling ostracized from others. We are all different, but we are all the same: We are all family coming from the same parents and we grew up together.
We have not had a family reunion in 5 years and the longer it goes without one, the less chance we will have one. We all make mistakes and I hope all of us (including myself) can let go and learn to forgive and be a family to one another in the true sense of the word. Of all the things I pray for, this is the one I hope for the most. I don't know if it will ever happen but it is my true wish it would happen before I die and leave this imperfect world.
