Birthday Barbeque for Dad

June 4th, 2006

I went to a birthday barbeque for my dad today. It was nice seeing everybody and getting a chance to talk to my brother's girlfriend. I also got to see my brother's kids. Despite the fact that he lives just a few blocks away from my sister, circumstance means that I don't get to see them as often as I see my sister's kids. The youngest is the spitting image of her mother and it amazes me every time!

At one point during the barbeque, my sister and her teenagers took me aside. All three of the kids had either bought or made cards for me and they wrote encouraging messages to me inside (regarding chemo). I was so touched by their thoughtfulness that I almost cried. What wonderful kids they are! I am very lucky to be their aunt.
