You are always there, my sweet big brother, to help me to remember to celebrate and notice the seemingly small moments that so often get overlooked and are perhaps the real meat in this life. The moment of shimmering excitement in a child's face or the joy we may feel hearing our loved ones laugh, even if it is at our funny pointed party hats!Sarah Cainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05685045185974245464noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029016611515120643.post-3552151341083241982012-10-04T18:35:53.954-04:002012-10-04T18:35:53.954-04:00Absolutely hands down the BEST gift you have ever ...Absolutely hands down the BEST gift you have ever given to me! I have tears in my eyes at the kind words you wrote and must say that you are a fantastic BIG brother. You always have looked out for me and have always been there to "talk me down from the ledge" when I need it. I love you sooooo much and could not, by the way, be prouder of all that you have accomplished and overcome this year. It will indeed be a great birthday, thanks to the love I feel surrounded by and you are a big part of that!

I, as you have probably guessed, utilize fb as a communication tool because I don't live near most of the people I am connecting with. It is a great way to stay 'tethered' to former and, now current, friends from my past. There is, for instance, a group of us who gather monthly to wine, dine and have a good time down in G'boro. One of the really cool things is not all of us were 'all that' close during junior high and high school days and have come to know one another in a closeness that is heartening and supportive in our adult years (which is a good thing since we're all adults now, right?)<br /><br />As for the texting thing....I'm definitely with you. A quick message, "hey, call me", or "I'm lost. Turn on your GPS and call me", I can see. As for carrying on a conversation....not so much. <br /><br />I stay in 'the loop' with Facebook. I love it.Hollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11664392636968465357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8029016611515120643.post-3389650632622379242012-01-03T20:15:45.664-05:002012-01-03T20:15:45.664-05:00Well said, Tom!Well said, Tom!Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11914806659557346119noreply@blogger.com
