I am the oldest of four and have been very happy with my active and loving siblings. They are awesome and have been that way for all my life.

Our parents encouraged that very much. I heard my mother say often: "Its your brother". She is right, family is very important and if I can help it, it stays that way. The people that have made a great effort to come to some of the family gatherings, I thank you. The pictures and the images that I have of these gatherings are so bonding and showing the interest to meet the relatives as often as possible. It will become more difficult but we should never forgo the opportunity to meet and get to talk with each other. It shows our kids and grandkids what we are and how we care for each other. I think our parents looking down are very proud of us. They were very loving and devoted to make the best of us we can be. It was a good example and we are following it. What is the greatest pride: My pride are my children. They have bettered all the things I wanted and now I am waiting for my Grandchildren to do better. It is hard to do, but I am willing to see the results. BECAUSE THEY ARE MAKING ME BLUSH.
