this is wonderful! Thank you for sharing :)
ReplyDeleteGreat quotes. That was really sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove the pictures you used. And it's true...when me and my siblings get together, we are always left "remembering". It's great.
ReplyDeleteI see photos like yours with siblings who seem to love each other and are close and it's so hard for me to relate to that. Most of my life, my brothers and I were strangers growing up in the same house together. We ALWAYS went our separate ways...always. And now, in my mid-50s, the only one I'm close to is my baby brother who's 6 years younger than me. My oldest brother and I are virtual strangers, tho we do speak on the phone maybe once a year. My brother nearest to me in age estranged himself from our entire family 16 years ago and wouldn't even respond when our father was dying. Hold tight to what you have, Marty...you are truly, truly blessed.
