Ins and Outs of my Life

Visitors tonight. I feel old now.

First a little background to this story. When Craig and I were dating for the six years of our courtship ( long--- I know-- that is another story), one of our dearest folks in the world was his cousin, Shane. Shane was like a little brother. He is about 5 years younger. He went with everywhere for about five or so years and we enjoyed him. He was even with us when my husband proposed to me ( See that story in my port). Well he graduated and went off to college. We got married and still saw him from time to time but it wasn't as often with him being away at college. Then he went away to Medical School. We saw him only twice a year at most even though we talked to him. HE got married and had a baby. We saw his wife when she came to visit but he being in medical school-- he rarely got home. He is now a new doctor but still in a special school for one more year. Well he got time to come home and bought his two kids and wife. We haven't seen him in about five years. It was so wonderful. In one more year, he will be home for good to practice medicine in our town. We are all just anticipating being back in each others lives. He has been in school for over 15 years to be a heart specialist. I knew all the sacrifices were worth it. He is so bright and to see him tonight and how much he has accomplished is just wonderful. I do feel old though at thinking back on all the memories.
