Family R US

We have thirty one people all talking simultaneiously and all I can think is...
I'm home!
Never mind I've never been to Kill Devil Hills NC, it's about these people, these incredible individuals I have the supream honor of being related to.
My 'little' brother Marc is almost unrecognizable to me, the voice of the baby brother I walked the floors with when he was tiny issues from the body of a nearly full grown man. When did that happen?
My mother is only three weeks from Major Surgery and looking tired and thin, but here and happy and wonderous.
So many, so joyous, why did we wait so long to do this?
highlight of the evening, (besides the touching testimonials of the familys love and growth) was the impromptu and rousing chorus of "Popcorn Popping On the Apricot Tree" complete with hand gestures and damn can my family sing. We coulda been the next Osmonds!
GRIN
More later, but I just wanted to scatter a little of my wondering bliss that I'm overflowing with. I'm sleep deprived from the flight in and sunburned from the beach, but happy, so very happy to be with these my most treasured companions.
love and laugh and go call your mother!
