Life Still Sucks!

My life is still turned upside down. I have had the worst week of my entire life. I have been panic/anxiety attacks and have to take xanax for these. Xanax helps some but my heart still pounds, my chest hurts, my stomach hurts and what little I have tried to eat comes out one way or another. I have lost almost 10 pounds in the last 9 days. So, life still sucks. I will eventually get to the point that I can post about what is going on, but I haven't gotten there yet.
On another note, when I went to Tennessee last month, we had a family reunion. It was a lot of fun to see several family members that I haven't seen in quite a while. I haven't been able to download those pictures, but I do have pictures from last years reunion that I want to share. My maternal grandfather was one of 12 children. There are only 5 sisters still remaining. One of those sisters has alzheimers and wasn't able to come to the reunion but I have pictures of the other ones. My sister and I had the families stand together for pictures (the 12 children's families). Some of the pictures are actually a couple of families together as their were only 1-3 people from each family, but my grandfathers family had a lot of people. Next time, I think we will have each of my grandfathers 7 children's families stand together. But that is for next time. This year, I did pictures of my mother and her 5 siblings together (one brother has passed away). I will post these later. Anyway, here are some pictures.
Aren't these some of the cutest little ladies. These are the 4 sisters that were at the reunion. They have on matching shirts that say "Always my sister, Forever my friend." They wore these again this year. From left to right: Aunt Wanda (the second youngest), Aunt Amelia (the oldest - she is 93 years old), Aunt Evelyn (the 3rd youngest) and Aunt Lillian (the youngest).
My grandfather's family. These are my mother's brothers and sister's families.
Aunt Wanda is a hoot. She loves to pose for pictures. She has so much energy. I think she has more energy than I have had for years.
