Family and friends

My family is very important to me even though I sometimes don't see them for months if not years at a time.   There is my sister and her husband, my two sons, two daughters in law, four grandchildren, a nice, two nephews, their partners and children, and numerous cousins all over the country. And that's just in Canada (except for my sister and her husband who live in Hawaii). Many more relatives live in Poland. 
I am also lucky to have some very good friends all over the world. Last week a group of us got together for lunch and realized that we have known each other for 50 years. Wow! We met in school and have kept in touch ever since. Here is to friendship!  
So today, on my birthday (don't ask how old I am), I would like to express my gratitude for all your love and to tell you that I love you with all my heart.
