*From the Oldest of 7

To My Brothers and Sisters:
I want you all to know how much you have amazed me in the past few years and since this blog started.
The blogs you have written, the replies you have sent have shown me how amazing you all are. My younger brothers and sisters have really grown over the years. I am proud to have the 6 of you as siblings.
I always thought I was the one with problems in my life and I always thought the other 6 of you had it all together and had the ideal lives. Normal kids, good jobs/careers, husbands/wive's and success in general. You all have had your share of trials and tribulations too! I don't consider myself a failure because what I want out of life is still yet to come...I'm just a late bloomer that made mistakes in many of my choices. You have all helped me see that there is still hope...even if I am 50, which by the way isn't so bad.
To Kris, Annie, Bruce, Jamie, Tia and Sandy:
Thank you all for being who you are and for the great things you have brought to the lives of my siblings. You are all very unique people...you have to be in order to be a member of this bunch lol
Times change, people change and grow...I want you to know that you have helped me in different ways to do just that!
Big Hugs to all of you!
Love ya!

Oh Sissy, what a nice message that was. Notice I didn't call you Grammy????? Yes, I am changing my ways. LOL Yes, I know what that means!!!! Anyway, thanks for being the Big Sissy to us. Even though you didn't have a choice. I know that things weren't easy for you all the time, you've done GOOD FOR YOURSELF!! I admire what you do in your job and how you are with people, I wish I had the patience.
Love you lots,
Jeanie (and Bruno)

Mom,

It is only normal to make mistakes throughout your life, that is what makes us who we are. I have made plenty and know of them.
