My Family

I had a wonderful visit with my family last weekend. It was long overdue and we all got to know each other again. I had not seen three of my sisters for 15 years and one sister and a brother for five years. It was good to connect and get reacquainted again. We all learned a great deal about each other and shared what we have in common in the health department.

It seems we all have varicose veins and our legs are blue in colour from the condition. At least three of us have rosacea a facial redness condition, and we have all been touched by cancer in some way. I had a lumpectomy with 100% benign results. Two of my sisters had heart surgery, two more had breast cancer and got through it ok.

Now we made a decision to remain in touch and keep each other informed of any health issues and changes that could happen. We do love each other and have fond affection and happy childhood memories. Now we made new memories this past week and continue to share in the love of family and maintain good friends.

I believe in the family values we all have and pray we are all spared any pain of growing older. We are all in our 50s and 60s and don't have a lot of time left here on earth. So then what's a sister to do!?!? I will do my utmost best to keep my family of origin in close contact and near my heart.

Thank God it is not too late to do this. I have a wonderful and loving family and will always tell them each day how much I love them.

Have a great day everyone and take good care,

MaggyMay :)

Hi MaggyMay, Glad to hear your visit went well and that you plan to stay in contact with each other. Life is just too short and precious.

I had a best friend from High School that I kept in touch with off and on over the years. Last Spring I decided to look her up again only to discover that she had died. Needless to say, I was very upset over finding that out. It had only been a couple of years since we had last talked.

I can't stress enough how important it is to let by gones be by gones, forgive and forget and spend time with one another. Say I love you while you are alive. Don't wait to tell someone what you feel after they have passed.

I pray you and your family will continue to stay in touch. Keep us posted.
