Genogram Project

The genogram project was actually really fun. I talked to some relatives that I hadn't in awhile to get some information about my large family. I learned a lot of about different family members, and it brought back a lot of memories from my childhood and us all being together. This project also made me think about how short our lives can be and how quickly time flies by. Realizing how long it has been since some of my family members have died really makes you appreciate life a little more. It also makes me thankful to have such a large and diverse family because when we do get together, thought it isn't often, we always have a good time and wish that we would get together more often. Most of my relatives live in Colorado, so doing this project and thinking about my relatives has really made me miss them. I really wish that we could spend more time together and we were all close like we were when I was little. There are a lot of my family members that I don't talk to very often because of how far away we are. The last time we all really got together was in Decemeber because of a funeral. Although this was a sad time for my family, it was nice that we all got to be together again. It has been years since we have all been together, and it was so good to see everyone again, even though it was because of a funeral. I'm really glad that this genogram project was assigned because it really made me think about my family and appreciate each person a little more.
