Recently, as of yesterday, one of my older sisters, and her husband, moved from New York to Indiana where a lot of my family (including yours truly) resides. What prompt my sister to move a thousand miles away where the culture and the colloquialism are so divergent? Simple. The family. How powerful is that statement? Family matters to us. I finally have the other two thirds of the triplets living near me and we get together as much as we can.
Last night we were at Applebee's with all of the Indiana family together and it was a sight to behold. As we ingress middle age, the role of the family takes on new importance to me.
Since I am a homebody, the advent of family makes me want to go out and be gregarious and see them.
My Mother's goal is to have all nine children living in the same state. While that may not happen, at least she has most of them here. What more could you ask for?
