Oh, Brother

Growing apart doesn’t change the fact that for a long time we grew side by side; our roots will always be tangled. I’m glad for that. -Ally Condie, Matched

I found this quote this morning and tucked it into my Christmas letter. Obviously, I was thinking of my kids, but then I remembered the wonderful weekend at Leavenworth in September with my husband’s family. The featured photo is of my dad with his older brothers, circa 1938, but ain’t none of us getting any younger.

So, in the midst of all the holiday bustle, that’s what I want to write about today.
