Vision
I believe each of us has also been left with a significant responsibility. If we have truly appreciated what she has done for us, what she and Pa have done for us, then we need to keep working on her life’s work. This is what has made the difference for us in life. And she has handed this responsibility over to us now. To each of us. We can let it slip now and be like any other family on the planet or we can take responsibility and step up to the task. This means working at our relationships with each other. Staying in contact, seeing each other where possible and taking a genuine interest in what’s occurring in each others families. Each of us has been shown how to create a wonderful extended family because of her leadership (she and Pa). We can each move on to create our own “Walker family” where our own children and their children spend much time together. We can bring the cousins and second cousins and third cousins together, make and encourage phone calls and emails, invite extended family around, have them to stay, go on trips together, drop in and just spend time with each other or.… we can let it pass.
