Sister & Brother-in-Law

I don't think I have ever posted a picture of my sister and brother-in-law---don't know why, because they are very special people. They are always doing for others. They have genuine concern for people and a willingness to help do whatever they can. They are very generous and have kind hearts. Both of them are funny and just fun to be around. My sister is six years older than me and married young, so "Bob"(his grandpa name) is like a brother to me. He has just always been in my life. And, I have to say that Bob is a great husband. He loves my sister so much.........there is nothing he would not do for that woman.

As a child I know I was really a pest and a brat. Carole was scared of everything and I really got my kicks from scaring her. She was always and still is so sweet to me. Our Mom never made her take me places, but she often would....just because, well I guess she is just really nice or she wanted me to go with her. I have always looked up to her. She has always been willing to advise me and that is especially important now that we no longer have our Mom.

A sister or a brother can share their heart---we often talk about our past, some of it good and some not so good....... in turn I have tried to encourage my kids to remain close as adults, because there are things to share that only a sibling can really know about. Much can be gained by sharing memories, laughter and even sorrow when shared between siblings.

"Gram" and "Bob" I love you both more than you know.
