Again, Again, Again and Again.

 I have come to love my step-mom's family.  Especially her sister and brother-in-law, Nancy and Ron.  They've become my family and we've spent lots of good times together.  Our shared love of UCONN Women's Basketball, and women's basketball in general provided us great bonding time.

Back when this pandemic started, all three of them (Betty, Nancy and Ron) came down with the dreaded Covid.  They survived, but it took forever for them to get back their sense of taste, and they slowed down a lot after.  

But Nancy kept creeping downhill.  She never smoked but she had COPD (thanks to second hand smoke) and was already having difficulties before Covid.   

On Wednesday morning, around 4:30 a.m., Nancy went home.  She was 91 plus one day.   

As much as I love her, her gift to me was love and respect.  She treated me like a long lost niece from day one.  If I've given you something sewed, I probably made it on the machine she gave me.   

I love Ron.  He won't be here long without Nancy.  I'm not looking forward to life without him, either.  But I do understand.

Thank God for the pups and Blackie.
