Welcome To The Club

This old gal…

Was on a zoom call with that middle daughter of hers…she sharing an outline recently written for her grad class…nosy me couldn’t help but notice her message tab open on the screen…

Looked at the list of names…co-workers, friends, family, then noticed a heading called Sister Wives…nosy me, getting even nosier, asked who was in the group chat under that title…

“Oh,” came a laugh, “that’s me and the girls and J-Man”…J-Man, that brother-in-law of hers, married to her beautiful oldest sister…apparently that day they’d been talking about brackets…March Madness brackets…and were ribbing each other about their choices…

And with that it became apparent that J-Man has morphed into one of the sisters…trusted, respected, loved…

And there for them…EACH of them…flying to Iowa to drive the Uhaul…moving furniture, making budgets, doing taxes, fixing meals, riding bikes, going on sisterly grand adventures…

And it warms this mother’s heart to know those babies of hers have someone to turn to, someone to support them, when she no longer can…

So today we celebrate one of our sisters, who’s actually a brother, and husband…and let him know how blessed we are that he chose US to be family…

Happy Birthday, J-Man!
Welcome to the club…
