Good Morning

Brittany, Joe, Mom, Dee, Holly, Erin, Hannah, Lindsey, Gabby, and Lis Dec '12

I sit here writing in the dark.  It's just before sunrise.  Actually, a time of day I've grown to love.  The house is still quiet.  No one is awake.  The day has not begun. There is a gentle feeling in the air.  

My sweet nieces framed this photo and gave it to Joe on his birthday two days ago.  Joe and I were admiring it last evening.  A beautiful photo, but just a part of the large family and circle of friends we are so lucky to have...

Enjoy the dawning day,

Doreen

Oh my gosh. I remember that picture Best Big Sister and Awesome Brother like it was yesterday! There is not an hour that goes by that all of you are not in my thoughts, prayers and held fast in love. A bigger trial I cannot imagine, but I believer that focusing on love, appreciation and gratitude is the only solace. You are all strong beyond imagination.
