Two large families

My wife came from two large extended families. Her father had 6 brothers and sisters. Her mother had 10 brothers and sisters. Both families have many children and grandchildren.

At the wake of my wife's father (who passed away last week), I met many members of the extended families. I knew them many years ago, when I married my wife. 30 years have passed. We have all grown much older.

I get to know many of them more closely during the last few nights of the wake.
