Picture and A Story Friday

Photobucket


Dennis and I both come from small families. This is a picture of most of the Cote side of the family. Present are his niece Caroline, who is about to hatch in December, his sister and brother-in-law, Donna and Louie, and the two of us.Missing are his niece, Katie, and Caroline's husband, Stuart.

Family. You really don't want to live with them, but you sure can't live without them either. Dennis really appreciated this visit by his sister's family. Even though we can spend time with most of my family quite often, it's different than spending time with your own flesh and blood.

We chuckled as Dennis and Donna shared stories about growing up. We shared a few belly laughs over a story about Louie's first experience with Chili Con Carne when Donna, and he were first dating. Caroline and Dennis relived some game called 'bad mommy' that was played when Dennis baby-sat for the girls.

We had a nice visit, and have a few more memories to reflect upon over the next few years.

Ann and Dennis,
Living with Shy-Drager, Multiple System Atrophy and two loving families
