Circa 1983....
That is me with my hands on my hips, rocking the groovy bathing suit.
The boys are my "cousins", Kevin and Kerry. Family is a funny term b/c it can mean different things to different people. Kevin and Kerry are twins whose mother used to be married to the brother of my ex-step-mom. Their mom was divorced from Janice's brother before my Dad was married to Janice, but that never stopped us from considering ourselves cousins. As a child, I had the biggest crush on Kerry, so he is who I am standing next to. As an adult, I keep in touch with Kevin, who posted this photo to his Facebook page.
I don't have any brothers and sisters by blood, my mom passed away back in 1983, and I live far from family. I am fortunate to have good friends that I consider family, as I was reminded when Chris Hoscheid called me yesterday morning.
In these difficult days, I am needing family and friends more than ever. I have a hard time reaching out and an even harder time asking for help....but I am learning....
