My cousin, Sean, and I.
Last weekend I climbed a mountain with some of my cousins, aunts, and uncles to scatter the ashes of my Aunt Marlene according to her wishes. I've heard it said that it is a shame extended families often only gather together for sad occasions such as funerals. However, that day my thoughts were that it is a lovely thing when our final act in this life is to bring together our loved ones in remembrance.

That is a beautiful picture, and a beautiful thought.
what a wonderful thought (and great photo!) when we gathered for my grandmother's memorial last year, we had lots of conversations about this very thought.
What a special moment for and your family. I'm so glad you were able to do your Aunt's wishes. Wonderful thoughts.
This seems like a rather sweet outing and reason to get together.
What a sweet outing, indeed.
And on a sidenote..what's your secret?? You seriously look about 16 here!
That is a very lovely thought, and a wonderful picture.
It was good to see them again. I'm sure it had been over fifteen since I saw Sean and Rory.
What a treasured day for extended family no doubt.
And you were up in Waterton, no? We are going back next year and I'm already pining for it.
