It was like that for as long as I can remember. When we exchanged gifts, all the grandchildren received gifts from their godmothers/godfathers and grandparents. I LOVED my time with my family because there was never a dry eye (from laughing so hard) or unhappy faces when we were all together. The patriarch of the family, Grampy Jim, passed away after a year long battle of Pulmonary Fibrosis January 17th, 2016, and not a day goes by where he isn't on my mind or the minds of my family members. When we all get together, we know Grampy Jim is always with us.

I read about "Life After Coffee" on another site and was interested prior to this blog post, but now I am definitely reading it!<br /><br />A lot of our family traditions have fallen into disuse over time because my family is far flung with nuclear families of their own and some family anchors have passed on. I will always love celebratory family dinners, maybe even more for how rarely they happen now. Reading the previous posts and composing my own has left me a little melancholy. Everything changes, so we have to make a point of appreciating the moments as they happen.

After that, I received an ornament each year. I still do. Now we do the same thing for my daughter. When I moved out, my ornaments went with me. My daughter will take hers too.
