A Simple Thing Called Love

I am always writing about Real Estate or some Las Vegas Trivia. Today, I'm going to write about my family and how lucky I am.

It all started this morning when I got an email from my brother Phil after he read my daughter Sharon's blog. I have always encouraged her to write. She so beautifully puts her thoughts on paper so to speak. I'm giving away my age. My daughter Michelle is just as creative and has brought so much joy to me as well.


Phil read a blog that Sharon wrote about me. He emailed me and told me I should be very proud. I went back and reread this blog. I must admit it brought tears to my eyes. Both by the caring things Sharon said about me and the happiness I got by having my brother read her blog.

I will admit family is the most and I do mean the most important part of my life. And in this department I hit the jackpot. After the years of raising my children and the trials, tribulations & joy my 39 year marriage to Orrin has brought me I am reaping the benefits of hard work and time. My children are successful and happy in their lives. That is what a parent strives for. Orrin and I cared for them, supported them and never hesitated to give them advice. We are now fortunate to have two wise daughters to go to when we need a bit of counsel.

You never stop being a Mom but now I am also a friend to them. I'm sure there is a limit to what they will share with me. That's as it should be.


Michelle my oldest daughter and Sharon are sometimes my advisors. Michelle has given us a wonderful son-in-law Edgar and two fabulous grandchildren. Two year old Cruz and 3 month old Kendall. The joy and exercise they bring into our lives is endless. Sharon's husband Brian and his son Austin have been a most wonderful addition too.

To my brother, Phil, yes I am extremely proud. I'm very glad my daughters have such a good Uncle. Please know you are important to them. I am thankful to say that Michelle and Sharon have the same value for family as their Mom and Dad.
