...Christmas 2005.
The five siblings with Marian (Rob, Jeff, John, Harris, Lillian and Marian).
The last Christmas picture I have of everyone together was taken in 2006.
Jeff is not taller than his brothers. This was one of their usual goofing around shots.
They all get on their tip toes or jump to try to look like the tallest.
But "little brother" is really the "biggest brother."
We love you, Lillian. And it will never be the same without you.
Comments
But.
Your honesty, your self reflection, your devotion to family, your love for your husband, your reaching for a better life and personhood- all of these are so clear and absolutely lovely to read here. And I believe I aspire for these same things.
I am so sorry about your sister in law. I know from reading your recent entries you did not expect to lose her so soon, what a shock for all of you, and her poor husband, so recently married. I am glad she had such a loving supportive family around her the last few years, and I hope you try to turn more of that tender care toward yourself as you walk through life.
