Dipping into the well again for today’s picture of the day.
This photo was taken in April 2002 at my niece Monica’s wedding to her Matt. It captures seven of eight siblings, gathered together. I’m not remembering why the champagne bottle was there, but we all put our hands on it. Missing is my sister Mary Anne.
In order of age, we are Larry, the oldest, Denny, Nick, Frank, Mary Anne, John, Trish and Matt - that’s me. Frank, who has a light trench coat on in this photo, was the Father of the bride. He died about 6 months after the wedding. We all miss him greatly.
Family ties, are strong in our family. We share our joys and celebrations, as well as depend on the support of family in hard times and sorrows. Some closer than others, but all connected by the love we share. We’re a bunch of hard headed folks too. It’s our spouses, children, uncles, aunts, and friends who let us know when we need to lighten up. That’s extended family.
I’m grateful for my family and larger extended family.
