Today is Peggy's birthday. She and I are the first of 4 kids, and little more than a year apart, so it's not surprising that there's a special bond between us. Maybe the bond is stronger because we've lived 1000's of kilometers apart for so many years. I don't know that. But I do know that the special bond between us has little to do with me. Everyone I know who knows Peggy also feels a special bond with her. She's just naturally a friendly and personable person who cares about people and lives in the moment. It sounds simple but it's more than I can keep up. This picture has us together with my Mom, my brother Mark and our baby sister Mary. It was taken in the Fall of '04, (before we drove through the Rockies to see Sting and Annie Lennox at the Calgary Saddledome!)
I'm still going to be 1000's of kilometers away from Peggy today. If you see her in your travels please give her a hug from me. She's the beautiful one in the centre of the photo.
