I guess I'm a little more harsh about these things. It's the cycle every generation goes through. You may be missing the fact that you don't do things with your brothers and sisters anymore and your neices and nephews now have children of their own, but did you get together as often with your cousins once you moved out of your parent's home and had a family of your own?

Yes it's nice to sit and think about the "good old days," but I would rather enjoy the surrent holidays the best I can than sit and think about when it was "better."

My grandfather for the past two years has gone down with my Mom to see my brother for Easter. I know they both enjoy it. I haven't been able to go because it is the week right before my company's big Convention and I usually have major amounts of work to do before I go and can not get away. Thhey came back with some pretty good stories last year and I can't wait to hear what happens this year.
