That&#8217;s 18 short summers that will zoom by whether we\u2019re ready or not. So don\u2019t waste this precious time. Don\u2019t look back with sadness, not memories, because those days can\u2019t be done over.<\/p>\n<p>As I wrote in my novel, <em>Just 18 Summers<\/em>, \u201cSometimes the days will feel really long . . . but just remember, the years are really short.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/family\/11-fun-activities-for-building-stronger-families\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><em><strong>Read More: Building Stronger Families<\/strong><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>And that\u2019s why family vacations and reunions are so valuable. They\u2019re a time to bond with your immediate family\u2014cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents\u2014and even with extended family you\u2019ve never met before. They\u2019re an opportunity to discover physical similarities and mannerisms and traits that you all have in common.<\/p>\n<p>Family get-togethers are a time to share stories and photos from the past, to talk about those who are no longer here, to give your children and grandchildren a sense of their history.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re also a great opportunity to talk about your spiritual heritage as a family, to let your children see how faith and family have been important from one generation to another.<\/p>\n<p>And family reunions are the perfect time to pull out favorite old recipes, to share laughter and make memories over a plate of Aunt Betty\u2019s potato salad, Uncle Bob\u2019s famous smoked pork barbeque, Grandpa\u2019s custard-based home-churned ice cream and Granny Bessie\u2019s oh-so-delicious fried apple pies.<\/p>\n<p>So plan a family vacation this summer or attend your family reunion. Yes, it takes work, time and dollars, but the benefits of building a close bond with your family is priceless.<\/p>\n<p>Store all those precious memories in your heart, because someday when your children are grown and gone from your home, you\u2019ll look back and be so glad that you took the time to make them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Summer is that amazing time of tantalizing aromas from the grill, softball games in the backyard, lazy days at the beach and, most important,extended time with family and friends.
