Dad's Home

Dad moved to Rio Ranch, New Mexico some 7 or 8 years ago soon after my grandfather passed on. Now I see him every couple of years. We talk on the phone weekly. It seems he always comes out in the spring, except for one year, he came out in the fall. It also seems he always comes out each year we take a cruise. All the same it's great to see him and to meet Jeri, his girlfriend. She's good and I'm glad they are happy, glad that Dad's happy. Everyone deserves to be happy! My brother, Mark and his girlfriend are out too and it seems this is about as close a family reunion Tony Segura will ever get with his sons until the next wedding or funeral which comes up. It seems the only time my side of the family gets together are weddings and funerals. Dana, my wife and her family get together once or twice every year and every major holiday. In fact, you can find most of her immediate family at her parent's house every sunday! What's up with that? My parents would kill me if I showed up each and every sunday, holidays, and twice annual family reunions. No, better to keep it to only weddings, funerals, an occasional holiday, and a visit here and there. We still call each other almost every weekend and if something pops up. Some families get together all the time and some don't. My side is one of those which doesn't get together all the damn time. Doesn't mean we love less, only we get together a lot less than the others. Maybe we even love each other more? Can't wait to go on that cruise in June!
