bitter sweet

jason, bella & i all headed to white plains, ny at the beginning of february. unfortunately, jason's uncle, jim jordan, passed away after a year-long battle with a brain tumor. we felt strongly about heading north to be with the family and attend the wake and funeral. even through the pain, it was a great celebration of his life and a reminder to everyone that our days are numbered. after being in ct for those events, we headed to long island to stay with jason's aunt lois & uncle joe. on friday, we took advantage of being away and so close to nyc... we headed there with aunt lois and cousin jennifer, along with her husband jim and their boys zachary & nicholas. we only had a day there so we hit some hot spots and are more than sure that we want to go back when david (my brother) is there attending nyu for law school! we saw the statue of liberty, the empire state building, ground zero, china town and more.

I'm sorry about your husband's uncle, that is really sad. :(
