FITZPATRICK COUSINS REUNION

On January 18, 1999, we all met for the first time. It had only been six months since Lynda and I (Christi), first met on the Internet. We quickly started making plans for the two of us to meet, in person. Over the next few months, we found other "cousins" that had to be included in our little reunion. We loved each other right away and felt an instant connection to the past. We spent two wonderful days together and shared pictures and stories of our families down through the years. We laughed and cried, as though we had always known one another. When the time came to say goodbye, it was hard not to get emotional. We were honoring two wonderful sisters who died much too young.

Olivia was 35 years old when she died in childbirth, in 1881. Her younger sister, Talitha, was 46 when she died with Typhoid Fever, in 1905.

Somehow, the past became the present and we were able to bring their memories to life once again. We made the comment, that they would have been proud to see their grandchildren reunited this way. Certainly, they must have loved each other deeply. Perhaps that's what we felt in our first meeting together, a familiar bond that had carried down through time. Wouldn't it have been great if they could have looked down from heaven, for just a moment, to see us all together? Somehow, I'd like to think they saw .... and smiled.
