When my sibling and I were youngsters you attempted to teach us a lesson on strength of sticking together and having each others back no matter what because we are family. You showed us by gathering stix representing each family member and showing us how easy it was to break one stick and then how difficult it was to break all the stix. I have always remembered this metaphor. However, I am sure it has been long forgotten by the others. You know, first we lost you Dad, then Mom, then Annie. Our strength is getting thin and I think we are breaking . . .

Thinking of you on your Birthday. Love Susan
