My youngest sister, Gail, came for a short visit last week. It will probably be her last time visiting Wisconsin. We had a great time! Even her flight landed early! How often does that happen? (-:
I truly appreciate that her family: husband, 10-year-old daughter, and 1.5-year-old daughter, held down the fort while she was with me. The youngest daughter was sick most of the time Gail was visiting, yet Eric, her husband, managed to hold it all together until Gail's return.
While I'm preparing to leave (in less than 3 weeks now), it's an incredibly stressful time for me. I'm trying to finish-up with my job, packing things for San Antonio, and getting other stuff ready for my first duty station, El Paso. At the same time, I'm trying to clean up the house, go through things that I can get rid of, and still find time to spend with my husband. It's amazing how much stuff one accumulates in 7 years of living in a home!
Gail's arrival allowed me to rest, relax, unwind. She kept offering to help pack things up, but it was more important that we spent some quality time together. I hope she enjoyed the spa day as much as I did and that she felt comfortable and relaxed during her visit.
In uncertain times, family is the one constant. I'm so lucky that my family loves and supports me.
