4th of July blues

4th July came around so soon this year. A time for family and friends to celebrate the birth of our country's freedom. Whether it be celestial park events and fireworks or a quiet, peaceful dinner with prayer at home, either way most people in America are enjoying this day. My family had a blast at the park in each other's company. Talking, and laughing, and swimming and eating, and watching fireworks. There was a whole gang of them. From first generation to third. I heard them enjoying the whole day together. It makes me recognize and appreciate the importance of family and that no matter what goes down they will always be there for you. (sniff, sniff, tear...oh family)
Unfortunately, I was all the way on the other side of the country curled up on my couch watching movies in the dark with a terrible stomach virus. So you could just imagine how I felt when they would call me every couple hours to tell me how much fun they were having, woo hoo, glad I'm there. I'll just pull my barf bucket closer and make friends.

Happy 4th!
