family affair

i hate that i have a 'set' day to talk to people, but i do. sunday is usually my day to chat with various members of family. seems like it's always a good day to catch folks for a minute without feeling rushed.

i just got off the phone with my grandma. we talked for over an hour, about all manner of things. you know what? my grandma is bad ass, no lie. when we talk, i don't baby talk like a lot of people do to their grandparents. i've heard some people have conversations with their g-rents and talk to them like babies. you know they're people too right? they can have normal conversations. for example, today, we talked about antiques, lucid dreams, and andrew zimmer eating penises.

i think too often people take their family for granted. some people even dread visiting their family because it takes away from other important things. but some day, those people are going to be dead and there's gonna be a crapload of regret. take out 30 minutes and reach and touch someone.
