Few people are blessed with large, close families who love and support each other. You've probably figured out over the last few years that I count myself amongst this lucky few!. Of course in actual fact I have been part of this group for my entitre life but it is only since my illness that I have really come to appreciate it's value.
But if you call that good fortune what about the guy who also was accepted as an extended member of another large family courtesy of his spouse? Yup, there's another whole gang of near idiots out there the matriarch of which is my other "older" sister. Yes indeed folks. I have another sister who you've not heard about. I've been keeping her in the closet!
Heeeeeeres Kathy!
And yes you need to believe me. She truly is older than me even if she doesn't look it. I do need to remind her as often as possible. It has been neat for me over the last few years as I reconnect with my own family in meaningful ways, to have had a similar experience with Kathy and the rest of Roo's siblings. We had a really nice Regnier Christmas today. Life is good!
And I'm just kidding about keeping her in the closet. I'm actually quite proud of her. The example she sets, and the spirit of kindness and tolerance she exhibits in her words and actions inspires me as I know it does others. I'm pretty sure that it's because of her example that her amazing daughter Samantha doesn't need to live in the closet either! May the Creator bless you for that Kate!

I wish there was a *like* button for this! I also want to share my love for Aunt Cathy!
ReplyDeleteI too wish there was a *like" button for this! Cathy, you truly are an inspiration to so many people and I am so proud and grateful to have you as my "sister". You are the catalyst of our family, and for that I thank you!
