Revelation

During the last two days, I was making a slideshow of pictures for my dad’s birthday present.  It was about six minutes long and had music in the background.  I have a very large family, so we are never all together or in the same place.  Even when we are all in the same place, we talk together in small groups.  Before yesterday, I did not feel the feeling of having a whole family.  However, when I saw the slideshow of all of my family members, they were all in the same place, sort of, and it felt like our family was whole, and that they all knew and liked each other.  “ For the first time, I was beginning to understand what life is all about.”
