This weekend we celebrated my Grandpa Fermin's 87th Birthday. All of the family was so excited because it had been years since we've all got together. It was a Birthday Party / Family Reunion hosted at my Uncle Larry's house in Merced. I was estatic to see all of my aunts, uncles, cousins and my cousins' spouses and kids that I hadn't seen in years. Some of the spouses and kids I had never even met! We all chat on facebook, but being face to face was supreme. The food was amazing (just like I remembered), but being together - just like old times - was priceless. My kids had the opportunity to experience the joy I felt when I was a kid when we'd all get together - almost every weekend!
I also enjoyed seeing the joy in my dad's face as he was surrounded by all of his brothers and his sister, and his dad. Daddy even shed a few tears when Grandpa accredited all of the family that surrounded him to my Grandma. He said, "Mother, look what you did." Everyone got choked up at that statement. Yes, this Celebration was a celebration indeed. We celebrated my Grandpa's life, our family, and our love for one another. And you KNOW us Gonzales' sure do know how to have a good time! Our time together was memorable, cherished, and definitely unforgettable.
Happy Birthday Grandpa!
