Three Weeks
My brother, Michael, his wife Liz, and their
daughter Gabby, have been in Dallas (visiting from Hawaii) for three weeks.
They leave tomorrow morning at 10 am. At the outset I was skeptical about how
they would fill three weeks of their time. But we filled it. We've had family
dinners, movie nights, hanging out time, and we've celebrated and
mourned.
Michael hit the 45-year milestone
on July 5th; my grandmother passed away on July 9th; my younger brother Brandon
turned the ripe old age of 35 on July 12th; my daughter, Ariel, celebrated
turning 17 on July 18; and on July 21st my dad celebrated 70 with the quip that
he likes birthdays - the more you have the longer you live. We celebrated the
latter with a big gathering of family and friends on July 17.
It's amazing how much living we packed
into three short weeks. I'll post photos soon.
