kaseyc, have fun! Happy birthday. Don't you love living in the same town with your sis? I am one of five children:four girls, one boy. One sister lives out of town. The rest of us are within 45 minutes of one another.

Thanks for the birthday greetings...yes, we live in the same town but are still working thru some issues...and I am confident we will get thru them....Old memories from childhood keeps rearing its ugly head but we are learning to accept and move forward....just baby steps right now...
I know what you mean though about living far away from family....my daughter lives 3 hours away and my son still lives in New Jersey....I am one of 6 children, 2 are now in a celestial place...(both brothers)4 are still here on earth....I have 2 sisters and 1 brother....and I just have found one of my nieces who I have not seen in almost 34 years!!! but we are back to communicating.....YIPPEE!!!!
Since I was the youngest, I used to think of her as my little sister....the one I never had...
She was and still is very dear to me...and my heart is so full of love for her.....
Have a wonderful and joyful day!!!
Kasey

KC, this is soo weird. We have another new member named Sandi who lives in Jupiter FL too, and she says she recently found a long lost niece! She also wrote about the loss of her brothers in the "Loss" forum. Is this a coincidence? If it's any consolation, my family and I have been able to reconcile some ugly issues from our past and we have become closer in our mature years. I hope your birthday is special all day long! Lynnie

KC, family spread throughout the nation/country is a growing issue for baby boomer women. We are raising our children to be independent and it's working. Unfortunately, someitmes it means being separated. Kinda sad, huh?

Lynnie, to quote our Danita...as long as there is breath, there is hope!

Ok either Chickadee or Casey is going to tell me
who Chickadee is????????????
and Casey, how very nice of your sister!!!!
did she have the same birth year too?

Lynnie......you think I SHOULD COME CLEAN????/

hello...........!!!! lol

Lynnie: is that NOT a coincidence. I mean, this neice (newly found) blesses my heart daily..
and I bless the day I found her, only under horrendous conditions, but there always seems to be a ray of good from a horrid tragedy. But
blessed I am!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Casey, I am sure in this town, where I seem to know a LOT OF PEOPLE!!! I will check out your terrific sister. What's her name? nah...
never mind...I dont' really want to know. .I just know she's great....I mean, what if she doesn't cook?
and she holds a dinner party for you? How terrific is that? I mean, I'm not a cook....I think holding a dinner party is really tough. But I suppose I'd order a cake for her in her favorite color.
