Appreciate the people in your life while you can.
Tomorrow would have been my brother Rick’s 60th birthday. (He passed away at 41)
In May, my sister Melanie would have turned 54. (She passed away at 51)
In May, my mom and dad would have celebrated their 63rd anniversary. (They managed almost 48 years before my dad passed away.)
In June, my mom would have turned 82. (She passed away at 73)
In January, my dad would have turned 83. (He passed away at 68)
That is half my family.
I have left my brother Larry (who will be 62 in January), my brother Rod (who will be 46 in November) and my sister Debbie (who turned 52 in June.)
Imagine family photos like this:
Our family, the last time we were all together in 1992.
Our family, today.
The purpose of this entry is to remind anyone who happens to read it (including ME!) to appreciate your family. You never know when one of them may be taken from you.

That’s true. We never know when someone might go.
Yes you never know do you. My dad died at 57 and that was way too early for my wants. I miss him every day….marilyn
I try.
