During this upcoming week, my younger sister will be moving to Florida in the new home that she and her husband had built. Also, since it is October, my older brother will be packing up his trailer and he and his dog will be heading South for the winter. Today my younger brother arrived for a visit. My other brother and sisters were here too, so the five of us siblings were all together. We enjoyed food, conversation, and some laughter while at the same time realizing it may be a long time until we are all together again. My mom was happy for my sister’s new house and liked to hear of my brother’s upcoming plans, but was sad that they were leaving. We also looked through some of my dad’s memorabilia and reminisced. It was a bittersweet day, but I am so grateful for my siblings and our relationship.

I Found God today in the relationship with my siblings.
