Lots of nieces and a few nephews...

Lots of nieces and a few nephews... 

Last night the birthday party was unexpected awesome, more of such nights please! I have seen most of my nieces and a few nephews, I noticed once again that from my Mom's side I have more nieces then nephews. I had such as fun night, riding my bike there went okay, only a few times I thought to myself, "I'm crazy to go there, it's to far and being on the road in this darkness is kinda scary due the crime and violence here."  I'm so glad I went! And it wasn't that far, I knew the way now and the ride went well. When I arrived there I saw a eldery couple putting there bikes away and I talked to them, we both introduced each other. (The eldery man was a old friend from my (birthday) Aunt's Husband) 


We both when inside to congratulate my Aunt, and we both saw that we were one of the first ones. My two Nephews plus my niece were sitting next to my Aunt. Wow! I haven't seen them in such a long time, I guess it's been more then ten years. I felt a bit nerves and didn't know what to say, but I did well, and they were friendly. The Family from my Mom's side are much more opener, funny that most of them said that I look like my Mom, in my behaviour and looks. One of my Aunt's Son's (my nephew) I haven't seen in more then almost thirthy years, he has been at Humanitas too long time ago, but then in another city. Kinda sad story, cause he was on drugs and walked away from home. I used to play alot with him when we were bot kids. So that too felt a bit akward to see him back, but so nice aswell!

He's doing okay now, but still has the marks a bit of his drugs past. I sat down with the couple I came in with, they invited me to sat with them, nice! More people came in and a older couple came aswell sitting with us. There I sat at the table, with eldery people who I didn't know that well. But I felt good, I felt comfy. More and more Family and friends came in and I looked around while sitting to see if I could spot a few nieces and nephews or perhaps Aunt's and uncles. Or even old neighbors. It didn't take long untill I regonized a few nieces, and old neighbors, but going to them for a little chat I didn't dare yet. I thought, 'That will come later.' Then I saw another Aunt, she had one of her daughters with her, that Aunt lives in Almelo aswell.

My birthday Aunt! 60 year!

See was the one who I visited first when I came living in Almelo. She's my Godmother. She and her Daughter (my niece) congratulated my (birthday) Aunt and were looking for a place to sit down, it was already quit full. They both found a bit of a unusual table and seats to sit down, they sat alone. After five minutes I decided to sit with them, that was a smart decision. They were happy to see me. We both talked alot about me, my Dad and about the other daughters from my Godmother. Yep I have more nieces then nephews, lol. When I was still young I always played with them when my Mom and Dad would visit them, no not with dolls, just anything, but no dolls. We were more outside then inside. 

As the evening went on more nieces and there Families showed up, we drinked we ated we enjoyed ourselves. It was so nice seeing them back, even though it's been such a long time since I seen them. Still a few Family members were missing, but there a bit further away in Holland, and some were sick. The talking went so well with my nieces, they were asking me things like how I was and ofcource about my time in Canada. Most of them knew I spent time there, they asked about my Dad aswell, how he was and why he wasn't on the party. Here I was on the birthday party from my Aunt, surounded with lots of nieces and a few nephews, such a great time. 

I didn't even mind that I was alone, I felt great!  And again, it's been more then 20 years since I saw them! One of my nieces came with the idea to do a reunion this year in June, great idea! With all the nieces and all the nephews, I hope it goes trough. She came with another thing, she asked me if I or my Dad still has old pictures from her Mom and my Mom, there both past away long time ago. Her Mom and my Mom were twin-sisters, I still so remember that time when they were both together. I will have to search for the pictures, I have them or my Dad has them, I have been searchimg today but couldn't find any. That leaves my Dad, I will visit him this week. 

The birthday party came to an end, we all traded e-mail adresses for the reunion and thanked the birthday Aunt for the nice hospitality. What a great night! The day after... I rested, I didn't sleep that long but I felt okay, just a bit of a sore stomach. Getted my work clothing together, and made my lunch for work. And further nothing, rest. It could be a heavy tough week this week, upcomming Thursday the results of my job, stay or go. I think it's a go, I already half prepaired myself. If I get to hear that I can go, then I will go and won't stay longer. I will be heading straight away to Reha, to see if I can get back starting upcomming Thursday. Yes, I have it all planned, if I can stay, then I will do a dance trough the whole working place and shake everyone there hand.
