one phone call....it made me think

Life events such as weddings funerals and births always make you stop and think
today my aunt was married in holland and on the way to her wedding my grandpa
and father relived their own wedding days and honeymoons.

Now I took away a couple thoughts from these stories which were told. First my
papa and nana went to lake geneva for their honeymoon, I am living on lake geneva
this summer it was interesting to think they were there when they were my age, married.

the second was when he told me about how 10 days after the wedding he was shipped off
to the war in korea. he said this when talking about the war:

its one of those things that you would never do again if you had the chance
but would never give up the experience for a million dollars.

I thought that was interesting and what events i could say that about in my own life.
He also told me how he only talked to my nana once that entire year he was gone in korea.
imagine the first year of marriage half a world away with only 1 5 min phone call. its interesting to think about relationships and what that means. is it being together in sight or keeping in constant contact....or is it something more. It made me think alot.
