A sweet reunion (TTT 147)

This past weekend, I saw my younger sister and her family.

I had not seen my sister in 7 years.
I had not met my niece and nephew.
My sister had not met 2 of my 4 kids.
Our kids had not met each other.

Our visit was amazing. What a sweet reunion!

I thought I would cry when I saw her. Instead, I was just beaming. I could not stop smiling.

I am tremendously thankful that we could work out our schedules to see each other. My sister's husband is a pilot in the Air Force. He is basically on-call for the Air Force. He was one of 6 pilots in his squadron to win the "Christmas lottery." That gave him time off and the ability to travel.

This visit is what I am thankful for this Thursday. This is my Thursday Thanks Tank.
