I have been blessed to be born into a family of 14 siblings! On this Sibling Day I think of each of you, the 9 girls and 5 boys who have shared my life ever since I can remember. But, you are more than just your genders, you are insurance representative, linguist, ARNP, Educator, Computer Programmers, Analysts, Administrative Assistants/Executives, Med Student, Social Worker

and oh the Entrepreneurs. But you are more than the work paths you have chosen. You are amazing caring human beings who at 15 strong have made your commitment to see each other through. I thank God for each of you, the tigers, the data collectors and processors, the prayers, the thinkers, the practical doers. You have all come together to make my life new and whole. I thank you and appreciate your contribution. I love you for who you are. But, I do have way more than 14 siblings, I have all the spouses of those 14, thank you for being you. Even beyond that, on June 1, 1997, God allowed me to be joined with Uriah Millen, a noble self-less man who brought 5 siblings into my life along with their spouses! Have you lost count? Well, actually the numbers do not matter, because my sibling count is greater than even that, it includes ALL the sisters and brothers from other mothers. It is the amazing army that YOU represent, that continue to buoy me through this incredible experience.

Love and Hugs and the Almighty’s blessings to you all!
