Sister Love

Luci May and I spent Friday and Saturday at Gunga's. This time, it was special because all of my sisters were there with my Mom. I have three incredible sisters and this was our first time together since my Mom's diagnosis. I have often described the connection between the sisters as "magical". Maybe that sounds weird, but it's the best way for me to explain it. We spent our first couple of hours together in a chemo room. It's funny what love can do. That usually depressing place, turned into a place of laughter and fun. I guess that's what I mean by magical. TI have to admit, though, that Lulu was probably the key transforming element with her constant smiles.

We enjoyed time with Gunga...

Time with aunts...
Aunt Carrie
In the following picture, that's Aunt Georgie's leg. I guess I didn't get another one of them together. It figures, huh Georgie?
And to make matters even worse, I did get one of Lulu and the dog...

I'm sorry, Georgie! I didn't get even one picture of Lulu with
any of Amy's body parts, so don't feel too bad.

And time with Miss Robin, an unofficial family member, who joined us for dinner that night. She's in the center...



P.S. Yes, I know that my baby looks somewhat possessed in the above picture, due to her scary, iridescent eye. So be it. What I don't know is why it will only underline when I write. I guess it's my cue to end this post.

You know doggone well that I'm not disappointed about having my body parts left out of the pictures! Although I have to admit that I kinda, sorta, almost like how I look in the group photo. I think the dead battery fuzziness must help!

Miss Lulu is going to be major bright spot for you mom in the weeks to come. She is going to bring such joy in an ucky time. I'm so glad you have such a wonderful group of gals to lean on. Of course, I'm here too if you need me :)

I love that getting together with your sisters is so enjoyable for all of you. That's what I hope for my own kids.
