The children of Macon and Elroy Floyd have managed to have
a sibling night every year during Christmas week since Mother left us.
Six years ago on 8th of December, Leonard left us and there were six.
I believe three years ago Margie was unable to join us and there were five.
Two years ago Edsel was unable to come and there were four.
This year in May my Sister Dot joined our parents in Heaven, then
there were three.
The Queen, Sisqualums and Paul Ette.
After Edsel passed away in October, it became a very lone group
of three left,
but we persevered, had our sibling night and enjoyed thinking
of Dot and Edsel and their great wit.
To make our evening even sweeter, Paulette's daughter Nicholle, and
Dorothy's daughter and son-in-law prepared all the food
that they could even remember and brought it
and filled my kitchen with wonderment.
After giving us about 3 or 4 hours alone, they came back
and cleaned up everything and left it spotless. Christmas certainly brought us blessings from family
as well as blessings with family.
I pray that 2012 will be filled with God's goodness, and should
there be two next year let those two be filled with joy.
The Lord had done great things for us, and
we are filled with joy!
Psalms 126:3

God is so good! How He has blessed you with 80+ years with all of your brothers and sisters. I love this blog. Especially the pictures.
What a great time you guys must have had growing up together! You all made my life so much sweeter. I am grateful too!
Wow. How cool is that? I'm not talking about the 80 years together---no, I'm talking about getting along and enjoying spending time together all those years....perhaps you could teach my sweet daughter a thing or two about sibling love! What while you're at it, could you mention her brothers are pretty awesome, too?
Love you, Nana.
