I got invited over to my Aunt's house for Christmas Dinner!
My Aunt that I haven't been over to house since my dad died when I was 12 invited me for Christmas dinner this year . I met up with her before hand at local restaurant because I haven't seen her all much either since I was 12 unless I was at at store like Walmart or something. I am now 35 years old . We just started talking on the phone again about a month ago and I do feel like I want build a relationship with my Aunt and Uncle again. My Aunt told me my Uncle is 74;and has Cancer. I just don't understand why they waited all these years to start trying to start talking to me again 20 plus years later. Also what would be a good dish to bring.

I hope you had a good time at your Aunts for Christmas dinner. People can easily become distracted in their normal routine and not even think about extended family members. However the picture changes when some one is facing death and knows not how much longer they may be around to spend time with family. It is a time when people begin to re-establish relationships that kind of fell by the wayside. It could well be that your Aunt will continue to want to be closer to you, even after her husband passes. Although I pray that he has a miraculous healing from Jesus, and when his time really comes, that he passes peacefully in his sleep instead. One of my daughters still lives in the area, same age as you and goes with me to spend time at her Aunts for Christmas. This Aunt is very ill, keeps hanging in there, but who knows if there will be a holiday when we don't have her around anymore. It gives her great happiness to see my daughter, her niece the few times she does, as I am sure you brought happiness to your Aunt.
