...Just say those words and you are bound to evoke sympathy. Many people will even come up with a sarcastic,"Oh ..lucky you!"

Yes. Lucky me! I am lucky and blessed to be part of the Veld family. We are a family who makes it a priority to be together. Year after year, we have 4 or 5 wonderful days in cabins by a lake - and you know what we do there?

We make memories.

And how lucky for us all that those memories include my grandpa. Grandpa was always there, sitting under a shade tree - watching us play. You see, my grandpa knew the importance of family. And he wouldn't miss the reunion for anything.

Last weekend was no exception. The only difference is that Grandpa had to leave a few hours early. He had another family reunion to go to.

And now he's making memories.

And there's someone sitting under a shade tree - watching Grandpa play. And since Grandpa knows the importance of family. That's a reunion he wouldn't miss for anything.
