Thank you Elizabeth and Lori. I just found this picture of my beloved Mother this past Sunday and I knew it would be the best "Wordless Wednesday" I would ever post. Thank you for your kind words friends!

The Family

The family. We were a strange little band of characters trudging through life sharing diseases and toothpaste, coveting one another's desserts, hiding shampoo, borrowing money, locking each other out of our rooms, inflicting pain and kissing to heal it in the same instant, loving, laughing, defending, and trying to figure out the common thread that bound us all together. ~Erma Bombeck
