After so many years of not having seen them, I am overjoyed at being able to spend a little time with two of my nieces, Jennifer and Katie, today. After my sister Michelle died in 1997, things got complicated for these two sweet girls. I recently reconnected the two of them after years apart, and this is our first time to all be together since their Mother died. I’m looking forward to a lot more contact with them now that they’re grown, and I’m hoping to establish contact with my sister’s son Charlie soon. I’m especially happy they can now begin to grow much closer as a family. Michelle would be so happy!
