FINALLY...

At last I am heading back to Florida by way of TX, of course. On Saturday, February 14 my brother was rushed to the hospital after he passed out and stopped breathing. Fortunately, he came out of the ordeal well, but they did find major blockage in his arteries. So...to Boston he went, for a triple bypass. Now, for anyone it would be an ordeal but for an 81 year old, we were very concerned. He was operated on this past Monday and though painful and a lot of recuperation to go, he came out of it with flying colors, expecting to be released this weekend, then onto rehabilitation for about a week. So I am heading out while he is in rehab and will be back in a couple of weeks. This winter has been such an emotional roller coaster for my family, and not a fun one, for sure. But I am thankful for my brother's strength and our healthy gene pool and now looking forward to some r&r and sunshine so I can come back and be here for him when he comes home.



This is one of the last pics all together with my sisters. Now it's just the four boys & me.
