Something that makes me very sad is the current situation with my family. I'm working hard at coming to terms with it,but in the meantime .....
WHY NOT GOOGLE SOME NEW FAMILY MEMBERS???!!! What a brainstorm!
I'd definitely keep two of my sisters, all my daughters and grandchildren, at least one brother (jury's still out on the other three. no malice, I just haven't heard from them in years so have no points of reference), and probably all my cousins, nieces,and nephews. And sons-in-law. That's the easy part.
As to the new members....Stick to the living? Or include admirable deceased? Imaginary folk, movie or literary characters for instance? Quite a lot to ponder here.
One thing I know for sure:
Tom Hanks is my first choice for big brother. I don't have one and I think Tom would be perfect. Imagine him bringing all his cool friends over when he was in high school. Imagine him helping me learn to tie shoes, ride a bike, drive a car. Imagine him sticking up for me when I got teased. Imagine him teasing me. Imagine him telephoning just to talk simply because he needed to hear me as much as I needed to hear him.
Isn't that what big brothers do?
