Don't know why this was the 1st time I've seen this thread, but I'm glad that I did. I just got back from my grandmother's house in NC (where I grew up) and I think because this has been such a difficult and crazy year for me, I had to go home this year. Normally for me, I want to go home, but this year, I needed to be home, and I'm so glad I went. It was, in the words of a Kelly Price song, a "Healing for my Soul". No amount of medicine could have done what that visit did for me. There were 4 generations of women in that house, and 8 of my grandmother's 10 grandchildren were there, as well as 5 of her 10 great-grandchildren. Yes, family can and will sometimes work the nerves, but I wouldn't trade them for anything.
