Right Around the Corner

So I just talked to my newlywed sister in DC, my newly engaged sister in St. Louis, my parents in Connecticut and left a voicemail for my brother in Delaware. How is it, I wonder, that I managed to be the sole sister left in New York City? In the Northeast for that matter. Life happened I guess. One day we were wearing smocked dresses with bows in our hair, worrying about who was coming over for a play date on Friday and the next we are discussing who is going to be where for Christmas before the summers end. Did I mention, my brother is turning 18 in two weeks? 18!!!! I mean that is enough in itself to make me run to check in the mirror for gray hairs.

What does keep me from getting lonely is knowing that they are just a phone call away. And as for my soon to be adult brother, well his age now finally meets his old soul :)

As always and ever,

Bear
