My Sister


I was lucky enough to have my oldest sister, Shelly, visit in March. So here's the explanation. Shelly is 9 years older than me. She is the world's greatest sister! Well, she bore more from the family dysfunction than me. She found herself pregnant at only 16. I have always admired the fact that she had the courage to give her baby up for adoption. I have alway wondered what happened to the little boy. Well, when he contacted my sister last year, I found out that he lives in Spanish Fork, UT. Yes, here in UTAH!!!!

Shelly has loved every minute that she has been able to spend with him since she was reunited with him last May. So, she took the trip to Utah!

Its an amazing gift to have a sister. We talked and talked and talked. Then, I finally met my nephew, Noah! So cool to have met my long lost nephew AND have a family member in the state!!!!

Is that a picture of your cute sister and her long lost son? How precious! :) Sisters are the best aren't they???

That's so great! You are right, she's very courageous to be so unselfish at a young age & adopt her son out. How neat that she's been able to meet him! Hope all is well for you!

Hi, Peggy!

Now that I quit Facebook, I'll stalk your blog. :)

I didn't know about your sister's baby. I have so much respect for birthmoms! Did you know we adopted two of our daughters? We have open adoptions so we know both of their birthmoms (and families). Having them in our lives is such a blessing; I'm so glad our girls get to grow up knowing them. I love them so much. I'm so happy for Shelly that she got to meet Noah. :) That is really cool.

It will be fun to look around your blog and catch up.
