Jeanine and I flew to Minneapolis today to visit my mother, brother, and his family. It was so wonderful to be able to hug them all again and visit in person. Angela is looking radiant and has returned to full health. She has returned to the dance floor and we are looking forward to seeing her in action tomorrow night (stay tuned for photos). We visited her at the assisted living center where she resides and received the grand tour. She has a wonderful apartment filled with her artwork, all the amenities of a modern facility, and an outdoor nature area which she is stealthfully turning into a bonsai garden. We proceeded to take care of some technology issues she was having and to do a little hat and shoe shopping before arriving at my brother Mark’s house. Then it was off to collect my niece, Rose, from her soccer practice before returning to a feast prepared by my sister-in-law Marie where we were joined by my other niece, Sophia, and nephews Rory and Mario. A more perfect reunion, I cannot imagine.
