Spending the morning paying bills and catching up on business bookkeeping is not the most exciting I've ever done.
It was later this afternoon that I took the opportunity to catch up on my correspondence.
During the summer, when I was doing some genealogy research, I came across an obituary for my uncle (my father's younger brother). The last time I saw or spoke with my uncle and aunt, I was about 10 or 11 years old. My father and my uncle bought a pet shop together, but their working and personal relationship faltered and my uncle and aunt moved back to Minnesota. With a little more research, I found my aunt's current address and sent a card expressing my condolences. My aunt not only responded, but she called my other aunt (my dad's sister), who in turn also wrote me a letter. After all these years, neither harbors any ill-will and both seemed genuinely thrilled to reconnect.
Today, I finally sat down and responded to both of them.
I love catching up on the lives of people I'd thought I'd lost forever.
