I am very thankful today. I am a day late, but my late sister Pat and her husband Gary were married on Augugst 18th. They would have been married 65 years but both of them passed away too young in their early 60's. Please visit Thankful Thursday
My sister was a beautiful bride. Her groom Gary was in the U.S. Army so they traveled and lived in many places. They have five sons and the first and last son were both born in Germany while he was still in the service. I was too small to recall their wedding but when they brought home their first born son, they stuck in my mind. You see, I was the baby, the apple of my father's eye. Then Gary Jr. came along. Aack!! He ruined my perfect life. (hahaha) I was going to be five when he came into my life. Thankful they were in my life.
My uncle Louie and my auntie Ang. She would be celebrating a heavenly birthday today, on August 19th. we lost him in 1990 and her in 2000. They were the very best people. They did not have children of their own but they treated all of their nieces and nephews like their own. So many memories and so sad when I think of all the wonderful memories we had with them. Happy Heavenly Birthday Auntie Ang. I know you are walking heaven with many of your loved ones. So thankful they were partof my life.
Life is hard when loved ones go away to their final destination. But I will see them one day and I will have memories to comfort me for now.
