My Godfather

As my Godparents, you and Aunt Carolyn have been around my entire life.  Since my parents divorced when I was three, we didn't get to see you guys or other parts of the Egan/Rice clan as often as I would've wished.  I do remember cook outs (my dad always cooked-figure that out!!) and birthday get togethers and a few Christmases those years ago.  As an adult, I've realized those were the good times.  Now, because I have my own family, I try to remember as much as I can about the kids growing, places I take them, memories for the future.  This is the stuff that's important.  I try to remember that as long as we are together, that as long as we are a family--the bills, the jobs we've had to endure, the used cars, the bad days--all that is not important.  The weddings, the births, the new puppies, a new house, a family that has grown and prospered so very much in my 37 years......this is what I want to remember.  

Love, Jeni
