Siblings
This is a rare picture of all five of us in the same place at the same time. Somehow that happened yesterday! So we had to get pictures, as my sister suggested. Wayne (1967) is standing to the back. Left to right it’s Gary (1954), Me (1961), Lynn (1957), and Michael (1971). I never thought much about birth proximity until we had Sadie and planned on the next one(s). We were generally quite far apart, to the point where there’s little or no sense of having grown up together as part of the same generation between Gary and Michael, or even Wayne. My oldest nephew is just two years younger than my youngest brother. Even if our ages as parents weren’t a factor, we’d have chosen to have Sadie and her sibling(s) fairly close together as a good experience for them.
Anyway, the picture…
