I found, I had to 'mostly' let go. There are just too many. Of course, time does a significant job of that anyway.
In my lifetime...
4 grandparents
1 sister.
My first wife and mother of my 4 kids (we were already divorced when she died)
1 twin brother
all my great aunts & great uncles.
All my aunts and uncles (about 30 total) except one uncle and he won't be around much longer.
About 3/4ths of my cousins..buried another one just last Sunday.
Too many of my friends and neighbors.

The older we get, the more losses we have to live through.....and you do have to let go to a great extent. It's when you bury a young one like my niece at 17, several years ago, that is really hard......
I still have fond memories of my great grandmother at my wedding MANY years ago. She didn't live to see my son, but she sees him from her place in the great above....

Love your drawings!

Pics are great!
I love big families, there is such a closeness (usually lol) and so much fun!

You have my "dream"-hair! Always wanted dark hair and spiral curls. Then I paid to get the spiral curls... ummm... didn't look good on me... but still love spirals!
Thank you.

Ikr... Most of the time. lol.

Aw, thanks, I love it... Tho it is very hard to care for sometimes.

My amazing dog!

I'm still amazed at how this boy has come so far.

He was looking prettyguilting after I caught him on some comforters I had just washed.

I can see where your hair would be quite the maintenance task at that length. Do you braid it when it is that long? My wife and DD1 have, at times, had hair that long but both of them have very straight hair so it was easy to care for.

I usually will braid part of it and leave the back down... I'll get a picture in a bit... I have my hair in that style right now.

You are beautiful! I love your skin tone with your dark curly hair!!

My hair gets too long and gives me headaches too. My hair is much straighter though so it has to be past my shoulder blades to start causing problems. I also can’t do any “side of the head” hairstyles at all. Those are an instant headache. I can’t do headbands either.

I’ve had more than one perm in an attempt to get spiral curls. None worked that way...
