Nicola’s sister Anne and her partner Eric spent eight days in Seattle recently. We had a wonderful time. They are great company, people who like to eat and talk and drink and laugh, who know how to amuse themselves and are easy to make welcome.
I don’t have any brothers or sisters. I have four stepbrothers, but we didn’t grow up together and have never been particularly close: friendly, and legally connected, but not truly family. But if Nicola ever gets hit by a bus, Anne and Eric, and Nicola’s father Eric (I know, it’s confusing, so it goes) will still be my family.
But Nicola will never get hit by a bus, because what would I do without her?
Family can be a wonderful thing. I’m glad you all have each other. Nice to see the photos – great photo of you and Nicola.
I love looking at photos of you and Nicola. You two light each other up like fireflies. Such a thing of beauty!
Thanks for the engaging pictures. You are no longer so young, but you have aged like fine wine. Just one look at Nicola and any bus would stop.
