EASTER 2019 Uhlitz Family

FAMILY - This word takes on a whole other meaning when the two people that held it all together are no longer with us. I can't even express how much a day like this means to me. As a child I cherished Easter weekend. Being the youngest of five I LOVED our family gatherings, and everyone knew how much it meant to my mom to have her family in church and later crowded around multiple tables through out the kitchen. My parents would be so proud of this group of kids, young adults, parents raising their kids in todays world. My niece said to me today "aunty we almost didn't come today. The boys were horrible this morning." My response ... "So were mine. I almost left them at home as well." I am so glad that everyone who made it took the time out of their schedule to put a smile on my heart and my kids faces. Our three love spending time with their cousins and I love seeing the relationships that are being built, and the memories that are being planted. When I look at this group sitting on the rock, I will forever remember them scrabbling up there, eager to get a family picture. These are my nephews and nieces (plus my three). One day we will be able to add the other 10 that are missing. Our family is a little crazy, maybe even a little upside down but our family tree is growing and the roots are in heaven smiling from above.<3
