Reunited with my cousin, Sharon

Hebrews 13:1 ¶ Let brotherly love continue.

I saw a cousin last evening whom I had not seen in at least 25 years. It was such a sweet reunion with Sharon. She is my only girl cousin on my mom's side and we were just 5 months apart in age. As kids and young teens, it was always so much fun to get together. She lived in Georgia and we lived in Alabama and those get-togethers didn't occur too often, but I loved her.

Sharon married young and after that, I didn't see much of her. Our lives took different directions and we grew apart. That is not to say that through the years I haven't thought about her and wondered how she was getting along, but that young bond had been broken and we had grown apart. So what a surprise it was to hear from her that she was here in our city visiting someone. Sharon had lost her husband in January and was eager to hook back up with family. We made plans to get together on Wednesday for supper and then she went to church with Richard and me. It was so nice to reconnect and catch up. She will go back to life in another state and I will go back to my life here. We didn't even exchange addresses, but we have each other's phone numbers. I hope we can stay in touch.
