I watched them grow from a distance. Geography always alluded my direct presence in their lives, but vicariously I watched both boys grow up. We had a toy store and I do believe they had one of everything that we stocked!
In the last two months, I have attended two sensational, spectacular weddings...one in Chicago and the other in Long Island. Everyone so dressed up...and yes, a place to go....weddings! Some people cry at weddings...not me..I was thrilled and I smiled during the entire ceremony!
At Eric's wedding, I walked down the aisle on Ryan's arm....and at Ryan's ...I walked down the aisle with Eric....I was so honored and thrilled...that I could participate in this most important event in both their lives.
They both fell in love with lovely brides, thanks to J Date. My heart is so full of love and caring and
wanting them to have enriched lives with their brides.
My only regret was that my sister and brother-in-law weren't here to see these joyous events...how proud and happy this would have made them.
Eric and Becky...Ryan and Daniela...two very newly-married couples setting out in this very complicated world of shoes off at airports, terrorists, and recession economy. My generation has a lot of explaining to do to pass this bad stuff on to you.
Becky is a doctor and Daniela is a doctor-to-be....so I know both boys will be in good hands....and so will their patients. When I met both girls, I was so impressed with how smart and beautiful they both are.
I so enjoyed your weddings and watching you exchange rings and vows.
My family has now expanded....I have great nieces...and what a great feeling that is.
I just hope I can live up to being a great aunt to these two special women. I adore them!
