The Dubin Sisters

My younger sisters Barbara from Rhode Island and Andie from Virginia came in on Sunday for a few days. We always try to get together for two nights without family once a year but this year they are here to help me heal so they extended the visit to 3 or 4 nights. We have a good time laughing and reminiscing, do crosswords and cryptograms, as well as trying to remember childhood events and the names of former neighbors and distant relatives.

When my neighbor Sharon came over to visit, it turns out she and Barbara both were in the same graduating class at Germantown High School. I think Sharon convinced Barbara to join Facebook!! Another friend from the old neighborhood may come over and visit tomorrow. Today we went to see our 91 year old cousin at the Abramson Center for Jewish Life in North Wales.

With all the laughing and reminiscing, I am focusing less on the aches and pains of recovery and more on the fun of having my sisters close by. I appreciate the calls, cards and notes from all of you as well. Thanks to neighbors, friends and family for such good wishes! I feel and appreciate them all. They make a real difference.
