When I was growing up, us Bunns would get together once in a while to eat, act crazy, talk, laugh, play.... well you get the idea. We got together for everything. Back then, there were so many Bunns running around the house we had to borrow tables from the church so everyone could sit together. You know how it is, if you were dating someone, more than likely they would come cause when we got together- we made sure we done it right and what better time to meet the Bunn family....Sadly, I got tired of going to these functions when I turned 16- unless they were at my house and then all I would do Is drop by. Soon after I graduated, (1993 ) dad passed away and the get togethers seemed to come to a screeching halt. I kinda blame myself.... Instead of stepping up to the plate where dad left off- I went about my own way and winded up in messy situations that cost me several years worth. It had been over 10 years since we set aside a day to get together to eat and cut up like a bunch of Bunns were suppose to.....but on April 28th 2007- the Bunns came together once again. Although it wasn't like the old days of getting together, it was close enough. Since then, some have moved away and others just couldn't make it out this time... but that's OK though, I know for a 100% fact this will happen again... soon! I didn't realize how much I enjoyed these kind of things until I learned the purpose of them. In retrospect to those good ole days, I believe that this is what dad would want for us- and that is to continue. So dad since this was our first time back to the way us Bunns did things- I am going to dedicate this one to you. I promise I will make a better effort to keep us Bunns getting together to reminisce about those good ole days.
Sorry, We didn't make the get together. Next time maybe John Michael won't be racing. It will be good to see everyone.
