I am truly thankful for my life’s companions: My wife, my children, my parents and parents -in-law, my brothers and sisters- and brothers and sisters-in-laws (in both my wife’s siblings). Uncles, aunts, cousins from both sides of my family, and ancestors who have come and gone before me. I learn almost daily why someone in this large group is important to my life and learn of relatives that I have that I know little about. I am grateful for my Sister-in-law Marcia, who took a lot of information about my parents, grandparents and great grandparents and created a book with all the stories and details about their lives – the experiences and accomplishments of each. I learned a lot about who I am and where I’ve come from because of this book. If you would like to have a copy, contact me and I’ll tell you where you can get a copy.
My kids are grownups now with families of their own. They make me proud! You may already know that my grandkid pool
grew this past year when our daughter, Christie, gave birth to a new baby
girl. She is now 6-month-old and is cute
as she can be. All my grandkids are growing and doing well. Pat and I love them
to pieces!
We don’t see our relatives often enough these days but be
assured our hearts are filled with fondness and love for each of them. Although we are both retired, getting around
is increasingly difficult, so we have to limit our travel and hope to see each relation
at family events. Please know that our
love burns bright for every one of you!
Our thanks go out to each member that I detailed above for the impact you’ve
had on our lives!
Don
