A beautiful thing 2

Wow how time flies!

I have gotten the privilege to meet an exceptionally wonderful person! It really is right up there with birth and marriage. With hopes of wonderful and great things my daughter and I got on a plane to go meet my sister. There was more involved then just me going to meet her, I have now included my daughter in this. After the fact we laughed but her husband was reserved because these two strangers were coming to stay in his home. My husband was concerned because he was shipping not only me but his daughter to this strange place. Me I didn't care I was going to be meeting my sister. The sister that I have held my breathe to meet.

It was above and beyond a shadow of a doubt one of the most indescribable events in my life. I will tell the story as it unfolded and hope you enjoy.

This weird calm was with me at all times until the plane touched down. We were there we were in Texas. Ohhhh my I am here get me off this plane I am on a mission as the tears streamed down my eyes because something I had waited half my life for was about to happen.

There they were with their noses pressed against the glass watching air planes taxi in and out. I quickly ran up behind them and said boo. (Not the way I pictured it going but just the same there we were) They all turned around with these great smiles on their faces. Believe it or not we didn't shed a tear it was as though we were visiting again and not for the first time. We fit right in. Texas does not look like Colorado in the winter time there was green everywhere. The conversation just flowed. Hey Aunt D guess where we are going for dinner tonight. Hey Aunt D! Those truly are some very awesome and dear words to me. So to home we went. The dogs welcomed us and we were shown our wonderful space that we would be spending three nights in. I shipped out a large box with many items in it. We opened them and handed out gifts and shared some photos. My brother in-law came home and like a goober I held out my hand to shake his and was embraced!!

We went to the melting pot for dinner. It was great to sit at a table and see our kids laughing and talking as though they too have know each other all of their lives. We told the waiter our wonderful story and he took our picture to mark the occasion.

I in this short weekend got to see my niece cheer and my nephew play baseball. It was a true gift to be able to see them both doing something they like.

I got to see my sister be a wonderful Mom. My brother in-law be a wonderful Dad.

I even got to meet the neighbors and enjoy dinner that the kids made.

I got to come home with the ability to blame someone else for the way I am. Now anytime my husband says anything about me being an animal lover I just look at him and say it is genetic.

I also use the excuse of well I was just following my older and wiser sister. My daughter and I got our ears pierced to mark the occasion and I told my husband well my sister did it.

I sit here with tears in my eyes and a heart full of joy being able to write this. I love you Sister!
