It’s not all about THEM

I don’t think I told you we had a little company this past week.

My Aunts, cousins and cousins daughters came down for a little visit;

Bringing with them lots of joy, laughter and Anthony.

Aunt Joan These aunts are my father’s “little” sisters and two of triplets.

Among the many things I loved about having Aunt Jean and Aunt Joan here was seeing  

my father’s smile again on my Aunt Joan’s face.

I never realized it before but this time “IT” took my breath away.

Aunt Jean I again saw Aunt Jean’s kind, gentle nature. But this time we watched as she endured a serious illness. But, she never complained….just like someone else I know.  In both these woman, I saw their big brother Billy and one of his best qualities….I saw in them how he would take his time and listen patiently and talk to people from the family no matter the age, size or order of importance.

I saw how they enjoyed playing in childish games,  

allowing the smallest be the leader of the biggest chains.

I saw how they relaxed and laughed at themselves.

There were songs sung with the greatest emotion followed by dancing in the dining room.

The weekend just flew by.

When it was time for them to leave we were all a little sad to see them go.

Today, as I post and think of these warm, wonderful woman, I think about what makes them so special:  I think what makes these woman the generation of these woman so special is … 

Everything is just not about them.
