Family.

I finally checked my mailbox after a couple of weeks of neglecting it, and as a result got a handful of lovely birthday cards a couple of weeks late (oops). My Aunt Nene sent me one that made me smile a big, big smile:

So glad that we're family,

so very impressed

With all of your sparkle

and spirit and zest.

Whatever life hands you,

you give it a whirl --

You're fun and you're fearless ...

you GO, niece girl!

She is the best lady, my Aunt Nene. <3
