Unexpected Surprise
Well, this was going to be an art post, but I just had some fantastic news. In July, my Auntie Ann and Uncle Stan are coming over from Ohio to stay for two weeks. It's been, oh, five years since they last visited? I can't wait to see them again. Despite only having met Auntie Ann three times and Stan just the once, I feel so close to them. We email regularly and talk over the phone on special occasions, and they're just so easy to talk to. I feel like they've been with me my whole life.
I adore my Auntie Ann. She treats me like another daughter, despite our being so far apart. There isn't anything I couldn't talk to her about. Actually, I feel closer to her than either of my aunts here in England. The women on my Dad's side of the family are known for their strength and she isn't any different. I have enormous respect and admiration for her. As for Uncle Stan, he's very much into family history. The last time they visited was on their journey back from Poland, where they had visited especially for Stan to retrace his roots (he's Polish American in descent).
I know I already said so, but I can't wait to see them both. Dad doesn't show it that much, because he's not an outwardly emotional person, but I can tell he's excited too.
