Nice. I recognize the feelings/experiences he describes. My grandmother's birthday used to be the weekend we all got together with the extended family. She had 8 kids, who each had three kids, some of whom had their own, etc. so the group was quite a bit larger (80+ including her great-grandkids). She passed 4 years ago at the age of 96 and the get-togethers have stopped. I kind of miss them. It was a great way to experience "the circle of life." Have a few nice "4 generations in one picture"-shots.
