I am thinking of my cousin today, who had surgery to remove her kidney and the cancerous tumor it contained. I am so so grateful all went well and her recovery looks good. She has been in my thoughts and prayers every day.
I am thinking of my sister-in-law, who lost her grandfather this Sunday, and drove all day and all night so she and her little family could be here for the funeral tomorrow. I am so sorry for her loss. And also looking forward to seeing her and my brother and their little kids for a few hours before they have to turn around and drive all the way back to TX. I get to meet my mini me!! I hear she is adorable.
I am thinking of my sister and her family who went to six flags today. It was so much fun to have them stop here in Utah for a few days on their way out west. I am glad they are coming back through in a little over a week to spend more time. What an amazing bunch of people those kids are. (Yes, I know that just made me sound almost ready for a rocker and a lap blanket.) I feel lucky to be related to all of them.
I am thinking of my family here, who I get to see more often. My mom and her boundless enthusiasm for life. Her positive nature and love for others. She is missed when she goes on her roaming trips around the country. It will be good to have her back again soon. My dad makes me smile. I know that he is the quiet one when we all get together, but I feel his love for me and for each of us.
I think my brother rocks. He is an amazing example to me of perseverance and hard work. And the boy is smart. Who else can bring up 15th century agrarian guilds in casual conversation? No one I know!
And my sisters...ah, what does one say about sisters? I love them!
I love family, I love our family especially. I am glad you finally got to meet the mini you/Phyllis. I hope you took photos! Tell Mindy if you see her after I write this I was thinking about her and her loss & I tried to send her mental hugs. I hope they got through. I love you!
