Family Connections

It has been over 25 years since I have talked to some of my cousins. Who would have thought that Facebook would have brought us together. Writing letters, the telephone, and visiting used to be the way we made contact. Writing became cumbersome, telephone calls were expensive, and visiting relatives spread across the country took too much time.

I'm happy that Facebook has given me the opportunity to say hello and even schedule some visits with my family. I just think it is very weird that we now communicate almost entirely through computers.

Lovey

I have seen more pictures of family in the last 6 months than the previous 10 years! FB is a great way to connect on your own terms. No pressure like a phone call at the wrong time, or some windy email that you feel obligated to answer. For my family it is as close as we will ever get to a reunion.
