I was sitting here trying to come up with a title for this particular posting. Some of the contenders were "new beginnings" or "firsts." But then my sometimes clever mind found a way to fit everything that I wanted to include. Since I visited family this past weekend, these people that I love have been on my mind. How much I love being around them, how crazy some of them are, their problems and pains and how my being in another state affects all of us. My crazy sister, who I spent Saturday night with. I had such a great time with her, even risking getting struck by lightening just to make her happy. My younger brother who is so talented and generous and not just a warrior but also a survivor. And then there are the kids. 4 little kids that bring so much life and strife to my mom's household. Although one or all of them always gives my some type of germ to take back to Chicago with me, I would do anything for them. Last, but not least, there is my mom. What can I cay about this woman? She is my rock. At 65, she stands tall and strong, even with all that she has been through and is still going through. She holds all our lives together and has always given me unconditional love. I was going to include some other things here about my brother, but I've decided to save that for a future post. All in all, I had a great time this weekend, some stressful moments (but that is always par for the course). I see a family making strides, a family bettering themselves, a people determined to overcome their obstacles and win in this life.Thanks for listening...I mean reading :)
