Getting an invitation to the annual family reunion for my father's side of the family...never really knew him, met all of them when I was 29 years old...seen most of them a small handful of times...
The best part though...that the note said "we're really looking forward to seeing you and C (my son) again...and hoping we get to meet Scoote and her son too. Just can't wait to see you ALL!"
Not what most people would expect from such traditional, Southern Baptist folk, but as my uncle said when I told him my partner was a woman..."You're family, and we love you...and if you love her, then she's family too."
