The Shuffle of Brothers and Sisters


We did another "shift change" yesterday, and Olivia and I came home with Josh and Cilicia, who brought Mom back to Shands for the weekend. I write this, not to brag or sound stuffy, but Santi really loves all of us brothers and sisters and to see a couple of new faces is just like having ice cream. We can't wait 'till we can all be together again!

With Santi being away, everything changes....even grocery shopping. We would go down the isle and reach to get an extra box of cream cheese or granola bars and then think, oh yah...we're not cooking for him this week! All of us children work together and help one another with what has to be done in a day, and it's amazing what kind of routine one can get into over time and how you will have little, "glitches" or "oh, yah" moment, when one person is gone!

Santi is definitely apart of us, and us him. Some people ask, "doesn't someone get lost in the shuffle of a big family?" How can they, when so many are around?! Just a little food for thought...=)
