My aunt Doris in San Antonio passed away last Sunday. We DROVE down there Wednesday and returned yesterday. It takes about 19 hours to drive there. I don't know what to think of Texas. For the most part, it was nothing but shopping center after shopping center, surrounding the crowded interstates. People there drive crazy too. I got to see my second cousins that I haven't seen in years. I also got to see my other aunt's gravesite. She commited suicide in '96 and I didn't get to go. I knew her husband died before she did, but I didn't know that it was within the same month! My Dad's family is so dysfunctional. Five of them didn't even go there for her funeral! My great aunt on my Mom's side of the family didn't attend her own parents' funerals. How do people like that live with themselves? Needless to say, things have been kind of gloomy around me this past week.

Dysfunctional has become the norm in society.
I'm not sure I'd know how to function within our families if there wasn't something "screwy" happening.
Ya know, now that I've gone back and looked at that picture again, I see a definate family resemblance between you and the little girl. It's like looking at you with long wavy hair, wearing a dress.
