Oh my gosh!!! I just got an email from Erica - WOW! What a little sweety!! It feels like Christmas!!!!
She is smart, funny, kind! But man - she was HERE, in ENGLAND, for THREE WEEKS!!! She knew I was here but was afraid to contact me, didn;t know how I would react!!! ARGH!!!!!!!!!!!! If only we'd known!!!
wow - this is SO amazing.
She is 26!! Married, college grad - she studied Ploitical Science and International Studies, and considered Law School SHe did NOT get that from my brother!!!!
She sound so lovey!!
I am OVER the moon.
AND - I am a GREAT-AUNT! Her sister Jill had a baby last year. WOW!!!!
There is some obvious sadness about her life without her father, which I can only help try and ease. My brother, god love him, is an idiot. A nice one, but an idiot jut the same!
Well, just wanted to share. I am so excited. At last.
I have alwyas felt so sad about relations with his children - he has screwed 2 marraiges up and I have missed out on 3 nieces and 1 nephew as a result. They were as close to my olwn children that I was ever going to get and always felt such a loss. Sothis is just wonderful.
<happy happy sighs>
