My sister Mary (14 years my senior)and I never really had a chance to get to know each other well when I was young. She married and moved 12 hours away and I would only see her when she came home for infrequent visits. It wasn't until I had married and had children and she had her second family at the age of 44 that we became "equals" and had so much in common. We became fast friends as well as sisters at that point. I think you are so lucky to have each other!Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05040416772190103045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-92164770043618718292008-09-27T06:53:00.000-07:002008-09-27T06:53:00.000-07:00Oh, the memories!

Now I want to add something. You didn't mention how you have touched my life. You were there with love and support when I went through a very trying time with personal issues. You were there to give me refuge when I needed a safe harbor from the storm. (OH how I wish you still lived in SLC and closer to me) You were there with kind words and wisdom when I needed guidance. I am glad we can say we are friends, That is more important than being cousins! We can choose our friends and I am glad we chose each other. I love you more than chocolate, and you know how I feel about chocolate!

I'm glad you two reconnected! <BR/><BR/>Well our plans for the fundraiser have been postponed due to the weather forecast of heavy rain and wind. Our resident vet said it just wouldn't be safe for the animals to go through that much water, especially the little guys. We contacted two weather guys and they both said that they would postpone so we did. It is rescheduled for Oct. 11 so hopefully we will get a good day. This is the first time in 15 years that it has been postponed! We just figured better to be safe then sorry. Will keep you posted.Midlife Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03531655128417397650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2263927894612229534.post-72237773081504302042008-09-25T15:31:00.000-07:002008-09-25T15:31:00.000-07:00How wonderful to have had the opportunity to bond ...How wonderful to have had the opportunity to bond again despite the situation.

There are photos of us eating saltines together at age 3 -- we wrote to each other all through childhood and the college years -- now we are mature, married women and the minute we see each other, we pick right up where we left off, no matter how much time has passed.<BR/><BR/>Life is rich with friends and family like this. :-)<BR/><BR/>Thanks so much for your comments today on my blog!
