Happy Birthday to my dear brother

Today was my brother's birthday, and we gathered at his favorite Indian restaurant to celebrate. We had a lovely time, and I thought again how important my tiny family is to me, and how despite the occasional snit or disagreement, they become dearer to me every year. I hope there are many, many more family birthdays to celebrate. Post-dinner, my brother set off to go country western dancing. I hope he will have the energy to do the same decades from now, when G-d willing, he hits 100!
