A Month of Gratitude, Day 12 - The Whippersnapper and The Epidemiologist

Thursday, December 12, 2013
The Smart Man has a brother. He's six years younger than the Smart Man, which makes him twelve years younger than me. He was barely old enough to drink legally when I met him, the whippersnapper.

A number of years ago, the whippersnapper met an amazing woman, She's smart, funny, kind, generous and an accomplished epidemiologist. As these things go, they eventually fell in love and decided to get married.

Since that time, I've had a chance to get to know them both, and I have to say - I have won the lottery when it comes to siblings-in-law. They have taken me and my children into their lives and their hearts without reservation, and have extended my family in ways that have only enriched my life.

Today I'm grateful for the whippersnapper and the epidemiologist, who aren't my "in-laws," they're just my brother and sister.
