FAMILY TIES

Sarah, my sister, and her family came down to see the play. Spending time with them cheered me up. It's amazing what a little quality time can do for the soul. I didn't realize how empty my "love tank" was until they started hugging and kissing me. When was the last time anybody did that? Toward the end of the day, when I left Sa's family and went to the performance, the other actors noticed my raised spirits and asked, "What have you been drinking? Why are you so happy today?" I had to admit that my better mood was just the result of some old-fashioned family time. I wonder if life will be like that when I have my own nuclear family.
