That was wonderful Brittany! You brought tears to my eyes thinking about how lucky we all are to be part of this wonderful family!
Thanks everyone! Brittany is so flattered with the compliments. It was great to see everyone last week despite the circumstances. I know lots of pictures were taken, unfortunately none with my camera. I'm wondering if anyone has some to share.

Sean apparently would stop in daily and drink coffee, wanting to stay in touch. Brian had a new year's eve party a couple of month previous, so I asked Sean if he'd gone. He said no, he'd quit drinking and realized that a new years eve party would probably not be conducive to achieving his goals. He'd also recently quit smoking. I remember thinking that was a lot to give up all at once, but of course didn't want to say anything to discourage him. Sean also had a dream to buy himself all new camping gear and go on a camping trip. This he did at the end of the summer. After achieving his goals, his heart gave...
