My sister has stayed with me for about a week, and it’s been so nice to have her. She’s been gone for many years, and I haven’t seen her much, so its super nice to have her here with my family. It’s been great to visit with her, and even helped me with cooking and cleaning. Okay, so honestly she’s doing all of it and playing with the kids. It’s extra nice to have her here.
Show Someone You Love Them a Little Extra
My sister has gone through so much recently, it breaks my heart I cannot do more for her. However, it’s awesome to see her with her so happy, it’s been a long time. She’s been battling something for many years and recently decided to take charge of her life. She is finally taking the necessary steps to take control of her life again. I can’t tell you how proud of her I am.
I know things are not easy for her, and I want her to know she means a little extra during all this.
It’s been amazing to watch her play with the kids; they all have so much fun, and my kids are finally getting to know their aunt. Personally, I couldn’t be happier, and I think she loves it too.
I’ve been thinking of ways I can tell her thank you, and show her she means an EXTRA lot to not only me but the family. Every day it’s something new – she is cooking the family dinner, helping the kids clean their room, or more importantly spending quality time getting to know her nieces and nephews.
Lorena is going to be leaving us for a month or two. Mattie and I decided to sneak out early this morning and head for the store before Lorena woke up so we could get her a little something before she leaves us for the month. Mattie and I had fun picking out a few things for Lorena. Mattie being the gum lover she is insisted on getting her aunt Lorna some gum. I know it’s because she wants some too, but Extra gum is also a fun way to show her we appreciate her and love her an EXTRA LOT! Plus, she knows her aunt Lorena loves to cook, eat good food, and has complained about the food where she is going to be all ready, lol. Yes, this would be the reason for the 5 different flavors!
I’m pretty proud of her little gift package. Mattie helped me a lot, and we got her things she is going to love, use while she is away, and remind her we’re thinking about her an extra lot while she is away. I would like to share the contents with you, but it’s personal for her and I can’t do that until she is ready. Oh, she’s going to be joining us here on the blog when she returns too, so you never know she might choose to share her story with you, but I’ll leave that for her to decide.
Since I know how much she LOVES gum, and she has gone EXTRA far out of her way to help me and my family I wanted to show her we love her a little extra. I cannot think of a better way to say thank you for an EXTRA lot than with EXTRA Gum! Plus, I know she loves EXTRA Gum because it helps her with her sweet tooth, which I totally understand this time of year it helps me with mine too! Oh, and who can forget that Mattie seems to think it’s going to cure the bad food situation she is going to be in while she is away.
For me Extra Gum was an excellent, fun, and meaningful way for me to not only say I love you a little EXTRA. Lorena you are EXTRA AMAZING, gone an EXTRA long way, and we are certainly EXTRA proud of you!
Extra Gum is an AWESOME and FUN way to let your family and friends know how much they matter and how much you appreciate everything they do and EXTRA lot!
