Seasonal Greetings
From Susan and George McAnanama
Writing this letter has been helpful in sorting out our
feelings, emotions, joys and sorrows.
Because we love all of you, we are able to share our profound thanks for
a year of challenges and changes.
Recapping the year’s events is too complicated, so we just
say thanks for –
* Reid Allingham
McAnanama, who will celebrate one year of life this November 21st. ;
who is growing wonderfully with the help of his loving parents, Glenn and Karen,extended family, Shelly his
caretaker, doctors, nurses; visiting therapists. You can enjoy an archive of his daily antics
and visit him online at http://lilmanbigcity.tumblr.com/
* Maureen and Dennis
Connelly, celebrating their marriage in July, surrounded by family &
friends, joining their lives forever. We love being close by to meet spontaneously
for dinner, school trips, and sporting events.
* Eileen & Charles
Giglia and their family enjoying life in Charlotte NC. We plan to visit before the end of 2011, to
visit Lillian, Casandra, and Christian, and all the pets. It’s been too long!
We are thankful for old & new friends; Staten Island
& Binghamton friends, and a dynamic extended family of sisters &
brothers, nieces & nephews, and cousins all around the globe.
We are thankful for the love and friendship of those that
died this year. The circle of life is a
mystery. We miss you granddaughter Avery Rose McAnanama, we would have loved
to get to know you, but will treasure you forever.
We will always cherish the memories of others that lived a
good long life, but still left us too soon – Aunt Seena Cohen; Aunt Kathleen McEntee; Aunt Flossie Oschrin; Leo
Malson; Eric Loeb; Arlene Haeseler; Stuart Naismith. It was our pleasure to know you all.
A new baby in a family is so special, and we congratulate
cousins Brian & Megan on the birth of their son Evan Cohen.
This thanksgiving we will toast you, all our friends and
family. We’ll wish for each of us the courage and will to handle life’s
challenges. We’ll also give thanks for
the good folks at Occupy Wall Street, for sparking a movement that puts the
needs of the 99% on the front burner of the world. We will give thanks for
hardworking folks, and those that are struggling to make ends meet. We are
hopeful for a better world, where the profit motive is not the only guiding
star, and where prejudice is shunned by all.
We are keeping busy, tying up loose ends in Binghamton,
and living in NYC, with all its attractions.
Sue’s blog is at www.mommack.blogspot.com
and we are both keeping up with friends and family on facebook.
Have a great Thanksgiving, Christmas, Chanukah, winter
solstice, and
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012!
