Angela's family


My niece Angela, her husband Charlie and their children
Rob and Diandra

This is the only family photo I have of my niece Angela
and her family this was taken at Diandra's high school
graduation.
As kids we were friends/not just Aunt and Nieces.
Angela, her sister Jessica and I we were close then we grew apart
because of circumstances beyond our control and even
though we seen each other from time to time I felt like it was different
like we knew each other just cause we were family.

I was saddened by it for a very long time,
it was not anyone's fault that is just something that happens when
a divorce takes place. but to me it always felt like when her parents got divorced
it was like divorcing the family too in a strange way. though that was not the case at all.

I would have loved to have been in her life more and
had a closer relationship to her and her family. I was lucky to
be able to develop that a bit with her son Rob,when he graduated
and I love him so that we talk by emails and I am so proud of him
today is his birthday and I hope somehow he has a happy one as best as he
can being in Kuwait serving his country.
I know he will feel the love of wishes and prayers
for a blessed birthday and his safe return home. blessings
do happen and Lately Angela and I have begun to rekindle our relationship
and I am also getting to develop a relationship with Diandra as well.

I hope this continues and grows. I know the bond will remain in my heart
forever.I love her and her family and look forward to having
a closer relationship with them and maybe visiting
or spending more time together. I hope she knows that I am always
here for her and her family.

she and her family will always be apart of my life and I thank
the Lord for that blessing.
so to my dear niece if your reading this I say
with heartfelt joy
I Love YOU

Kisses and Hugs
always
