Love

Love was the theme all weekend, obviously the pinnacle being my sister Jen's wedding to Andy Sunday. My family and I just arrived back home in Des Plaines and I do not have the time presently to focus and write all I want, so there will be much more to follow.

I can say that I enjoyed everyone I met and spoke to, most especially my Dad,Andy's brother Tim, my Uncle Stephen, my Uncle Tim, my cousin Matt, Andy's Mother, and my cousin Mike. Additionally, it was great to meet many of my sister's friends- Chris, Giles, and Candy are all really special. And I met or saw so many people I had not seen in years, many of Jen and my parents friends. Which makes me think about the phenomenol speed at which my life is going by.

I all ready miss Boston, the incredible service at the hotel, the lobster, the champagne, the dancing, the smiles, the grandeur of it all, and above all of course, the incredible emotion I experienced firsthand and witnessed through so many people. Watching your entire family openly weep with joy and with love, not entirely unexpected though so incredibly moving.

It has been a long time since I have felt so good. Yet again, my sister Jen has risen my spirits and rejuvenated many of my dreams and hopes. I always think of her when I run since it was she who started me in that hobby, and now I am thinking of how very proud and filled with love I am towards her. Proud to be her older brother, and proud that she has found her happiness at last.
