I did not get to sleep last night before midnight.  I thought it was because of a doctor's appointment I had today.  Then as I think about it, it wasn't the doctor's appointment, it was the news that Uncle Roy had died.

Now, I haven't seen my Great Uncle Roy since my Granddaddy's funeral in 1986.  I've spoken with his wife, Aunt Sarah, off and on over the last 25 yrs, but again, have not gone back to visit.  So as I was trying to sleep, childhood memories of being with Aunt Sarah, Uncle Roy, Uncle Marion, Aunt Lolitta, Granddaddy, Morris, started floating back.  Then I was thinking about my Dad's parents and how I miss Grandmother and Granddad and what their house meant to me.  Of that generation, my Grandma on my Mom's side and her sister, Aunt Sarah are all that is left.  All the other Great Aunts and Great Uncles and Grandparents have passed. 

We never lived close to either side.  My Mom's people were in South Carolina and my Dad's were in Arkansas. I feel as though I have spent more time w/ my Mom's side of the family.  I feel close to both my Uncles and Aunts.  On my Dad's side, I feel closest with my Aunt and really don't know my other Uncles/Aunts or cousins. 

Just my musings for the day....time for me to get some sleep.
