family

My cousin Jack and his wife Donna came to visit and we had a great time. We got to renew our relationship. I saw them 4 years ago in Orlando when my Aunt Benny (Jack's mom) died. We reminissed about childhood times. His father had polio when Jack was age 1 and his brother Jerry was 2 . His father was in an iron lung for a long time and then spent the rest of his life as a paraplegic in a wheel chair. He was a brilliant and handsome man. He developed the landing gear for the first space travel. He died at 48. Benny moved the children and Jerry to California shortly after he got out of the iron lung. They lived in their car for several months until Locked Arospace hired him. She was a dynamic woman. Jack is battleing serious health problems but he is a defense contractor and is traveling all over the world. He wants to make sure Donna has money when he dies. He has a very bad heart.
He got to meet my son and his family and he loved that opportunity.
He had to take a long flight to get here but he loves me and wanted to get so see how I live. He, Donna and I did alot of soul searching and sharing.
