Hey guys,
So, I grew up seeing each side of my extended family once a year...MAYBE. With my Mom's side of the family, it was almost always less than that. It's days like today where we all have the privilege to watch Jack's baseball game as 3 generations of Gatlin's that make my heart smile. It makes me so happy to know that we are in the SAME STATE as *almost* all of my Mom's extended family. Family is truly a precious thing, and it is often taken for granted because you haven't ever lived without it. I know of people who literally, their cousins are their best friends, and growing up, I totally envied them! But now, I can see, even though maintaining friendships and relationships is POSSIBLE over a long distance, that doesn't mean it's easy. I am so happy and blessed to be able to be closer to my family, and I can't wait to watch as the fourth generation of Gatlin's(a.k.a, my second cousins, NO Caroline is NOT pregnant!) grow up and become wonderful and beautiful women :)
<3 Always,
Rose
