Whittaker Family Reunion

We went to the reunion this year. Aunt Beulah is the only one left of her generation. She told me, "I got old..." when I asked her how she was. She said even a year after losing Clay it has not gotten easier.

I was overwhelmed by the sheer volume of people (as usual) even though there were only about 50 this year. It's hard to know what to say to people you only see once a year at the most. I was also distracted and preoccupied by the fact that we were en-route to the beach.

We stayed until about 5:00 pm and then left for our hotel half-way to Oak Island, NC.
