Had to say good-bye to Sister A and BiL V today...they arrived home safely, but long past their scheduled arrival time because of a certain President-elect arriving at the same time they were supposed to depart, then finding out (glory be) that the plane had to be re-fueled. Poor things sat on the runway at least 1.5 hours while the storm system heading for the Pacific Northwest got colder and wetter.
Sister A texted me that the landing (on the snow-covered runway) was "Awesome!" There was tension-fueled applause, breaths were taken and many a gluteus maximus unclenched.
We're all going to miss my sister's sunny disposition and creative culinary cajolery. Our adventures of the last 2 weeks would not have been as humorous without her positive attitude, brainpower and always interesting observations.
V- she really IS the most amenable of all of us.
I'm glad she'll be back just after I leave but before Chemo #3 in January.
